Free energy of membrane protein unfolding derived from single-molecule force measurements.
Mechanical single-molecule techniques offer exciting possibilities to investigate protein folding and stability in native environments at submolecular resolution. By applying a free-energy reconstruction procedure developed by Hummer and Szabo, which is based on a statistical theorem introduced by Jarzynski, we determined the unfolding free energy of the membrane proteins bacteriorhodopsin (BR)...
متن کاملKinetic parameters from detection probability in single molecule force spectroscopy.
The detection probability of rupture events in AFM force spectroscopy measurements presents a viable alternative to standard methods for extracting kinetic parameters of dissociation. The detection probability has a maximum as a function of the probe velocity where (1) the probability to form a molecular bond is independent of the probe velocity and (2) the detection of rupture events is limite...
متن کاملDynamic Force Spectroscopy of Single Molecule
The direct measurement of forces between individual receptor-ligand complexes is an emerging new field. With the atomic force microscope (AFM) it has been possible to probe the forces between a range of biological molecules, including complementary oligo-nucleotides, proteins and carbohydrate interactions. To date, the force required to rupture these single ligandreceptor interactions is common...
متن کاملVelocity convergence of free energy surfaces from single-molecule measurements using Jarzynski's equality.
We studied the velocity dependence of mechanical unfolding of single protein molecules with the atomic force microscope. We showed that with enough realizations, the free energy surfaces reconstructed from Jarzynski's equality converge with respect to pulling velocity, in good agreement with theory. Using the I27 domain of titin as an example, we estimated the required number of realizations fo...
متن کاملComment on "experimental free energy surface reconstruction from single-molecule force spectroscopy using Jarzynski's equality".
We used the atomic force microscope to manipulate and unfold individual molecules of the titin I27 domain and reconstructed its free energy surface using Jarzynski's equality. The free energy surface for both stretching and unfolding was reconstructed using an exact formula that relates the nonequilibrium work fluctuations to the molecular free energy. In addition, the unfolding free energy bar...
