摘要
We applied linear unmixing approach to reveal individual components of intrinsic flavin fluorescence signal recorded in living cardiac cells by spectrally resolved confocal microscopy. Responses of whole-cell autofluorescence to modulators of cell metabolism and respiration were used as a tool of separation of its components; their spectral profiles, estimated by principal component analysis, correspond to free FAD and FAD bound to different enzymes of electron transport chain.
