Περίληψη: Molecular interactions underpin the functioning of the living cell. Molecules exist in distinct quaternary structural forms, associate with molecular partners in signaling cascades, form transient quinary interactions, localize in membrane domains, and cluster in membrane-less condensates. Measuring the concentration, size, and dynamics of these molecular assemblies remains an enduring biophysical challenge, particularly in cells, where heterogeneity is the rule rather than the exception. Orthogonal signals derived from fluorescence lifetime, fluorescence fluctuations, and fluorescence polarization provide valuable metrics for probing interactions and environments, concentration and size, and rotational dynamics, respectively. This paper combines fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy with image correlation analysis and polarization to determine the concentrations, brightness, lifetime, and rotational correlation time of different fluorescent states. A two-population model is examined as a prototypical example of a heterogeneous system. The analysis is illustrated on a simple fluorescence model system, where cluster densities, relative brightnesses, lifetimes, and rotational correlation times are extracted.
