Tese de doutoramento em Biofísica (Biofísica), apresentada à Universidade de Lisboa através da Faculdade de Ciências, 2007The nucleus is a complex cellular organelle, exhibiting a high degree of organization and also a highly dynamic nature. Live cell imaging using fluorescent proteins (FPs) as molecular tags and photobleaching techniques have been essential in revealing the dynamic nature of the cell nucleus. In this thesis, these tools were used to study molecular dynamics and interactions inside this cellular compartment. Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) and Fluorescence Loss In Photobleaching (FLIP) were used to analyze the kinetic behavior of spliceosome components SmE, U2AF65, U2AF35, SF1 and SC35 in the nucleus of l...
