DNA replication at the single-molecule level.
A cell can be thought of as a highly sophisticated micro factory: in a pool of billions of molecules - metabolites, structural proteins, enzymes, oligonucleotides - multi-subunit complexes assemble to perform a large number of basic cellular tasks, such as DNA replication, RNA/protein synthesis or intracellular transport. By purifying single components and using them to reconstitute molecular p...
متن کاملDNA-protein interaction studied at the single molecule level using tethered particle motion
This thesis report consists of two projects based on tethered particle motion (TPM) in which a polystyrene sphere (a bead) of half a micron in diameter is tethered by a DNA molecule to a surface and thereby used as a probe which can be observed and manipulated. This setup is named a bioassay. The first project is about the enzyme topoisomerase IA which relaxes negatively supercoiled DNA. Togeth...
متن کاملMolecular processes studied at a single-molecule level using DNA origami nanostructures and atomic force microscopy.
DNA origami nanostructures allow for the arrangement of different functionalities such as proteins, specific DNA structures, nanoparticles, and various chemical modifications with unprecedented precision. The arranged functional entities can be visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) which enables the study of molecular processes at a single-molecular level. Examples comprise the investigat...
متن کاملProbing DNA-peptide interaction forces at the single-molecule level.
The versatility of chemical peptide synthesis combined with the high sensitivity of AFM single-molecule force spectroscopy allows us to investigate, quantify, and control molecular recognition processes (molecular nanotechnology), offering a tremendous potential in chemical biology.Single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments are able to detect fast intermediate transition states, details of ...
متن کاملVisualizing helicases unwinding DNA at the single molecule level
DNA helicases are motor proteins that catalyze the unwinding of double-stranded DNA into single-stranded DNA using the free energy from ATP hydrolysis. Single molecule approaches enable us to address detailed mechanistic questions about how such enzymes move processively along DNA. Here, an optical method has been developed to follow the unwinding of multiple DNA molecules simultaneously in rea...
