Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a versatile technique operating at the single-molecule level, that successfully meets many challenges of modern biological research. Based on the detection of mobile fluorescent molecules diffusing in and out of a diffraction-limited laser focus, the method allows to resolve particle dynamics within cells and their compartments. Previous FCS studies have described various parameters of protein function, namely mobility, transport and localization phenomena, enzymatic turnovers of biochemical substrates and molecular association and dissociation reactions. Recent progress in the application of FCS to intracellular systems has particularly taken advantage of detecting autofluorescent proteins and their genetically encoded fusions to cellular proteins. This review discusses recent applications of FCS analysis with and on fluorescent proteins, particularly highlighting chemical and physical properties. Inherent limitations of the presented approaches are discussed in detail and strategies for optimisation of experimental systems outlined.
