FLCS – Fluorescence Lifetime Correlation Spectroscopy
The fusion of Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting and Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy, called Fluorescence Lifetime Correlation Spectroscopy (FLCS), is a method that uses picosecond time-resolved fluorescence detection for separating different FCS-contributions. The main emphasis is on the word separating. FLCS does not involve fitting of a complicated model equation to a complicated a...
متن کاملMicrosecond protein dynamics observed at the single-molecule level
How polypeptide chains acquire specific conformations to realize unique biological functions is a central problem of protein science. Single-molecule spectroscopy, combined with fluorescence resonance energy transfer, is utilized to study the conformational heterogeneity and the state-to-state transition dynamics of proteins on the submillisecond to second timescales. However, observation of th...
متن کاملConformational landscape of cytochrome c folding studied by microsecond-resolved small-angle x-ray scattering.
To investigate protein folding dynamics in terms of compactness, we developed a continuous-flow mixing device to make small-angle x-ray scattering measurements with the time resolution of 160 micros and characterized the radius of gyration (R(g)) of two folding intermediates of cytochrome c (cyt c). The early intermediate possesses approximately 20 A of R(g), which is smaller by approximately 4...
متن کاملUnfolding dynamics of cytochrome c revealed by single-molecule and ensemble-averaged spectroscopy.
Denaturant-induced conformational change of yeast iso-1-cytochrome c (Cytc) has been comprehensively investigated in the single-molecule and bulk phases. By fluorescence-quenching experiments with dye-labelled heme-protein (Alexa 488-labelled Cytc, Cytc-A488), we clearly show that the fluorescence quenching observed from folded Cytc-A488 is due mainly to photoinduced electron transfer (PET) bet...
متن کاملLipid--protein interactions revealed by two-photon microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
Cellular processes involve a multitude of chemical reactions that must be kept in delicate equilibrium to maintain cellular homeostasis. Powerful biophysical techniques are needed to measure the localization and concentration of target molecules as well as to quantify complex molecular processes in model and in vivo systems. Two-photon microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) ...
