Hi

I have tried to measure the mobility of a protein of interest by the FRAP assay. The protein was fused with GFP. I overexpressed the fusion protein in Hela cells. However, when the area of the protein was totally photobleached, it can not be recovered even over a long time. If the area of the protein was partially photobleached, it recovered soon. So, is the fluorescent protein must be totally photobleached in FRAP assay? or, it can be partially photobleached? Because I note that in many research papers, it is partially photobleached when the FRAP assay is conducted.
