SnapShot: Single-Molecule Fluorescence
Common uorescent agents include organic uorophores (e.g., Cy5), uorescent proteins (e.g., GFP), and semiconductor quantum dots each with different size, photobleaching, blinking, and labeling ef ciency properties. Wideeld detection with EMCCD camera enables parallel measurements. The temporal resolution is >ms, and the working concentration is limited to nM or less. Confocal detection from an e...
متن کاملMultiple conformations of full-length p53 detected with single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
The tumor suppressor p53 is a member of the emerging class of proteins that have both folded and intrinsically disordered domains, which are a challenge to structural biology. Its N-terminal domain (NTD) is linked to a folded core domain, which has a disordered link to the folded tetramerization domain, which is followed by a disordered C-terminal domain. The quaternary structure of human p53 h...
متن کاملSingle-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy using phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs.
Nanodiscs are a new class of model membranes that are being used to solubilize and study a range of integral membrane proteins and membrane-associated proteins. Unlike other model membranes, the Nanodisc bilayer is bounded by a scaffold protein coat that confers enhanced stability and a narrow particle size distribution. The bilayer diameter can be precisely controlled by changing the diameter ...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Fluorescence Using Nucleotide Analogs: A Proof-of-Principle
Fluorescent nucleotide analogues, such as 2-aminopurine (2AP) and pyrrolo-C (PyC), have been extensively used to study nucleic acid local conformational dynamics in bulk experiments. Here we present a proof-of-principle approach using 2AP and PyC fluorescence at the single-molecule level. Our data show that ssDNA, dsDNA, or RNA containing both 2AP and PyC can be monitored using single-molecule ...
متن کاملStudying DNA translocation in nanocapillaries using single molecule fluorescence.
We demonstrate simultaneous measurements of DNA translocation into glass nanopores using ionic current detection and fluorescent imaging. We verify the correspondence between the passage of a single DNA molecule through the nanopore and the accompanying characteristic ionic current blockage. By tracking the motion of individual DNA molecules in the nanocapillary perpendicular to the optical axi...
