متن کاملInferring subunit stoichiometry from single molecule photobleaching
Single molecule photobleaching is a powerful tool for determining the stoichiometry of protein complexes. By attaching fluorophores to proteins of interest, the number of associated subunits in a complex can be deduced by imaging single molecules and counting fluorophore photobleaching steps. Because some bleaching steps might be unobserved, the ensemble of steps will be binomially distributed....
متن کاملMechanically activated molecular switch through single-molecule pulling.
We investigate a prototypical single-molecule switch marrying force spectroscopy and molecular electronics far from the thermodynamic limit. We use molecular dynamics to simulate a conducting atomic force microscope mechanically manipulating a molecule bound to a surface between a folded state and an unfolded state while monitoring the conductance. Both the complexity and the unique phenomenolo...
متن کاملMolecular motors: Single-molecule mechanics
Novel techniques are revealing the movements and forces associated with single interactions of motor proteins, such as myosin and kinesin, and also of processive enzymes, such as RNA polymerase.
متن کاملSmall-Molecule Hormones: Molecular Mechanisms of Action
Small-molecule hormones play crucial roles in the development and in the maintenance of an adult mammalian organism. On the molecular level, they regulate a plethora of biological pathways. Part of their actions depends on their transcription-regulating properties, exerted by highly specific nuclear receptors which are hormone-dependent transcription factors. Nuclear hormone receptors interact ...
