  "field": "Agriculture and food",
  "definition": "A method used to study the lateral movement of membrane proteins and lipids. A small area of a cell membrane is bleached by laser light and the amount of time necessary for unbleached fluorescent marker-tagged proteins to diffuse back into the bleached site is a measurement of the cell membrane's fluidity. The diffusion coefficient of a protein or lipid in the membrane can be calculated from the data.",
