Annual review of biophysics and biomolecular structure, 1997•annualreviews.org▪ Abstract Measurements of trajectories of individual proteins or lipids in the plasma
membrane of cells show a variety of types of motion. Brownian motion is observed, but many
of the particles undergo non-Brownian motion, including directed motion, confined motion,
and anomalous diffusion. The variety of motion leads to significant effects on the kinetics of
reactions among membrane-bound species and requires a revision of existing views of
membrane structure and dynamics.
