Figure 1: Strategies for revealing the stoichiometry of molecular constituents.

Figure 1:

Various approaches can reveal the stoichiometry of a component on a receptor. (a) An approach with BN-PAGE involves counting the number of distinct bands when expressing various ratios of a receptor and another constituent. Image modified from[21]. (b) An imaging approach involves measuring the number of distinct fluorescence signals in each receptor complex. Image modified from [22]. (c) An electrophysiological approach utilizes pharmacological features of a receptor/interactor complex. Image modified from [23].
