Quantitative structural information from single-molecule FRET.
Single-molecule studies can be used to study biological processes directly and in real-time. In particular, the fluorescence energy transfer between reporter dye molecules attached to specific sites on macromolecular complexes can be used to infer distance information. When several measurements are combined, the information can be used to determine the position and conformation of certain domai...
متن کاملSingle-molecule switchable FRET
Two-photon microscopy offers unique advantages for excitation of channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2)-expressing neurons, but previous attempts had limitations in terms of the axial and temporal resolution. Emiliani and colleagues now use a scanless approach that combines generalized phase contrast and temporal focusing to shape two-photon excitation patterns and trigger single action potentials or trains...
متن کاملSingle-molecule FRET reveals sugar-induced conformational dynamics in LacY.
The N- and C-terminal six-helix bundles of lactose permease (LacY) form a large internal cavity open on the cytoplasmic side and closed on the periplasmic side with a single sugar-binding site at the apex of the cavity near the middle of the molecule. During sugar/H(+) symport, an outward-facing cavity is thought to open with closing of the inward-facing cavity so that the sugar-binding site is...
متن کاملCharacterizing single-molecule FRET dynamics with probability distribution analysis.
Probability distribution analysis (PDA) is a recently developed statistical tool for predicting the shapes of single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) histograms, which allows the identification of single or multiple static molecular species within a single histogram. We used a generalized PDA method to predict the shapes of FRET histograms for molecules interconverting d...
متن کاملSingle-molecule FRET of protein structure and dynamics - a primer
Single-molecule spectroscopy has developed into a widely used method for probing the structure, dynamics, and mechanisms of biomolecular systems, especially in combination with Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). In this introductory tutorial, essential concepts and methods will be outlined, from the FRET process and the basic considerations for sample preparation and instrumentation to s...
