A continuum description for diffusion in a simple model
for an inhomogeneous but isotropic media is derived and implemented numerically. The locally averaged density of diffusible marker is input
from experiment to define the sample. Then a single additional parameter, the effective diffusion constant, permits the quantitative simulation of diffusive relaxation from any initial condition. Using
this simulation, it is possible to model the recovery of a
fluorescently tagged protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) after
photobleaching a substantial region of a live cell, and fit an
effective diffusion constant which is a property both of the geometry
of the ER and the marker. Such quantitative measurements permit
inferences about the topology and internal organization of this organelle.
