Abstract
N-Methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is a crucial ion channel requiring the concurrent binding of both agonists glycine and glutamate along with the membrane depolarization for its opening and mediates calcium influx, which triggers the signal transduction important for synaptic transmission and plasticity. The efficiency and regulations of such cellular physiological processes are crucially relying on inherent molecular spatial organization and interactions of these channels with ligands as well as trafficking in the confined local environment. To decipher their organization, we have combined two imaging microscopic approaches, photobleaching step counting and single particle tracking analysis, that allow detection of unique organized patterns of NMDA receptor ion channel in the cell membrane. A broad range of photobleaching steps is observed ranging from 1 to 16. Single particle tracking analysis is performed to see the surface mobility of NMDA receptors and measured diffusion coefficient for all the tr...
