Probing static disorder in Arrhenius kinetics by single-molecule force spectroscopy.
The widely used Arrhenius equation describes the kinetics of simple two-state reactions, with the implicit assumption of a single transition state with a well-defined activation energy barrier DeltaE, as the rate-limiting step. However, it has become increasingly clear that the saddle point of the free-energy surface in most reactions is populated by ensembles of conformations, leading to nonex...
متن کاملSingle Molecule Probing of Exocytotic Protein Interactions Using Force Spectroscopy.
Relatively recently, the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) emerged as a powerful tool for single molecule nanomechanical investigations. Parameters that can be measured by force spectroscopy using AFM, such as the force and total mechanical extension required to break bonds between various proteins can yield valuable insights into the nature of the bond (zippering vs. highly localized binding site)...
متن کاملProbing DNA clamps with single-molecule force spectroscopy
Detailed mechanisms of DNA clamps in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems were investigated by probing their mechanics with single-molecule force spectroscopy. Specifically, the mechanical forces required for the Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae clamp opening were measured at the single-molecule level by optical tweezers. Steered molecular dynamics simulations further examined the fo...
متن کاملSingle Molecule Force Spectroscopy on Polysaccharides by Atomic Force Microscopy
Recent developments in piconewton instrumentation allow the manipulation of single molecules and measurements of intermolecular as well as intramolecular forces. Dextran filaments linked to a gold surface were probed with the atomic force microscope tip by vertical stretching. At low forces the deformation of dextran was found to be dominated by entropic forces and can be described by the Lange...
متن کاملProbing single molecule kinetics by photon arrival trajectories
Multitime correlation functions of photon arrival times in single molecule fluorescence resonant energy transfer measurements are computed using a simple model representing slow conformational dynamics described by a collective stochastic Gaussian coordinate. The analogy with time domain nonlinear optical spectroscopy is explored. Various statistical measures of distributions of single photon a...
