Mechanical properties of single motor molecules studied by three-dimensional thermal force probing in optical tweezers.
A new method combining three-dimensional (3D) force measurements in an optical trap with the analysis of thermally induced (Brownian) position fluctuations of a trapped probe was used to investigate the mechanical properties of a single molecule, the molecular motor kinesin. One kinesin molecule attached to the probe was bound in a rigorlike state to one microtubule. The optical trap was kept w...
متن کاملProbing Mechanical Properties of Jurkat Cells under the Effect of ART Using Oscillating Optical Tweezers
Acute lymphoid leukemia is a common type of blood cancer and chemotherapy is the initial treatment of choice. Quantifying the effect of a chemotherapeutic drug at the cellular level plays an important role in the process of the treatment. In this study, an oscillating optical tweezer was employed to characterize the frequency-dependent mechanical properties of Jurkat cells exposed to the chemot...
متن کاملmeasuring viscoelastic properties of Red Blood Cell using optical tweezers
Efforts have been made to study the behavior of complex materials in micrometer dimensions with various techniques. One of these methods is the use of optical tweezers for biophysical applications. Red blood cells, as the most abundant blood-forming cells, play an important role in the life of living organisms, and their unique mechanical properties are important. In this report, the study of s...
متن کاملSingle Chromatin Fibre Assembly Using Optical Tweezers
Here we observe the formation of a single chromatin fibre using optical tweezers. A single λ -DNA molecule was suspended between two micron-sized beads, one held by a micropipette and the other in an optical trap. The constrained DNA molecule was incubated with Xenopus laevis egg extract in order to reconstitute a single chromatin fibre. An eight-fold compaction of the DNA molecule was observed...
متن کاملMechanical properties of stored red blood cells using optical tweezers.
We have developed a method for measuring the red blood cell (RBC) membrane overall elasticity μ by measuring the deformation of the cells when dragged at a constant velocity through a plasma fluid by an optical tweezers. The deformability of erythrocytes is a critical determinant of blood flow in the microcirculation. We tested our method and hydrodynamic models, which included the presence of ...
