...Using confocal microscopy, time series of fluorescence images were recorded and 25 lm2 square-shaped areas were illuminated by a pulsed laser to photoactivate mtPA-GFP (Eisner et al, 2014; Weaver et al, 2014), which is a soluble protein that shows rapid diffusion (Partikian et al, 1998)....

...Likewise, measurement of the rotation of GFP by time-resolved anisotropy gave a rotational correlation time very similar to that of GFP in water [53]....
[...]
...Such a high density of enzymes and proteins makes the mitochondrial matrix the most crowded aqueous cellular compartment, and it has been suggested by several authors (reviewed in [53]) that the diffusion of small solutes such as metabolites and enzymes, might, therefore, be severely restricted....

...The quantitative analysis of their bleach data using a mathematical model of matrix diffusion gave diffusion coefficients for GFP only three- to fourfold smaller than that for GFP diffusion in water [53]....
[...]
...It has also been proposed that biochemical metabolites are passed between enzyme and enzyme complexes by a special type of channelling mechanism, which would be independent of any aqueous-phase diffusion process, and that mitochondrial water is in an organised state which might even change the basic physical chemistry of enzyme reactions (reviewed in [53])....

...Verkman’s group has measured via spot photobleaching the diffusion of green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressed in the mitochondrial matrix of four different cell lines [53]....

...As discussed by Axelrod et al. (1976) for conventional two-dimensional spot photobleaching, this approximation is reasonably valid for practical laser/lens systems; the same considerations would apply for bleaching of long thin mitochondria where bleach profile is nearly constant across the thin…...
