The interactions between proteins in membranes govern many cellular functions. Our ability to probe for such interactions has greatly evolved in recent years due to the introduction of new fluorescence techniques. As a result, we currently have a choice of methods that can be used to assess the spatial distribution of a membrane protein, its association state, and the thermodynamic stability of the oligomers in the native milieu. These biophysical measurements have revealed new insights into important biological processes in cellular membranes.
