Abstract

Total internal reflection with fluorescence photobleaching recovery (TIR-FPR) is a method for experimentally examining coupled diffusion and reaction kinetics at surfaces. In a previous work (Thompson et al. 1981. Biophys. J. 33:435-454), a theoretical basis for interpreting TIR-FPR data was described for monovalent ligands that undergo a reversible reaction with monovalent surface sites in a single step. Here, the theory for TIR-FPR has been extended to two different surface binding mechanisms that involve sequential, bivalent surface attachment. Methods for obtaining the intrinsic surface association and dissociation kinetic rates from measured fluorescence photobleaching recovery curves are described. The new theory should be applicable to the association of bivalent protein ligands such as antibodies with supported planar model membranes.
