Fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane and liberation of their contents is a multistep process involving several proteins. Correctly assigning the role of specific proteins and reactions in this cascade requires a measurement method with high temporal resolution. Patch-clamp recordings of cell membrane capacitance in combination with calcium measurements, calcium uncaging, and carbon-fiber amperometry allow for the accurate determination of vesicle pool sizes, their fusion kinetics, and their secreted oxidizable content. Here, we will describe this method in a model system for neurosecretion, the adrenal chromaffin cells, which secrete adrenaline.
