Drugs
In this section, several common drugs, their targets, and protocols are described for studying organelle distribution and trafficking. The drugs are readily available from general suppliers, including Sigma, Roche, and Calbiochem. All drugs should be aliquoted and stored for single use or made freshly, when noted.
Brefeldin A
Brefeldin A (BFA) is a fungal metabolite that disrupts the function of the small GTPase Arf1, whose active state is necessary for maintaining the Golgi apparatus. Adding BFA to cells causes the Golgi to
