(3 points) The lateral diffusion of a plasma membrane protein has been studied using the fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) technique in a cell under normal conditions, and the following plot has been obtained. Under a different condition, membrane protein complexes disassemble freeing partially-immobilized protein components. As a result, its lateral diffusion coefficient is increased. How would you expect the FRAP curve to change under these new conditions? The dotted line in each graph is the original curve shown for comparison.
