Fluorescence proteins changing spectral properties after exposure to light with a specific wavelength have recently become outstanding aids in the study of intracellular protein dynamics. Herein we show using Arabidopsis SYNAPTOTAGMIN 1 as a model protein that the Dendra2 green to red photoconvertible protein tag in combination with confocal scanning laser microscopy is a useful tool to study membrane protein intracellular dynamics.
