High-throughput single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy using parallel detection.
Solution-based single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful new experimental approach with applications in all fields of natural sciences. The basic concept of this technique is to excite and collect light from a very small volume (typically femtoliter) and work in a concentration regime resulting in rare burst-like events corresponding to the transit of a single-molecule. Those even...
متن کاملDynamic Force Spectroscopy of Single Molecule
The direct measurement of forces between individual receptor-ligand complexes is an emerging new field. With the atomic force microscope (AFM) it has been possible to probe the forces between a range of biological molecules, including complementary oligo-nucleotides, proteins and carbohydrate interactions. To date, the force required to rupture these single ligandreceptor interactions is common...
متن کاملThe molecular yo-yo method: live jump detection improves throughput of single-molecule force spectroscopy for out-of-equilibrium transitions.
By monitoring multiple molecular transitions, force-clamp, and trap-position-clamp methods have led to precise determinations of the free energies and free energy landscapes for molecular states populated in equilibrium at the same or similar forces. Here, we present a powerful new elaboration of the force-clamp and force-jump methods, applicable to transitions far from equilibrium. Specificall...
متن کاملA novel pattern recognition algorithm to classify membrane protein unfolding pathways with high-throughput single-molecule force spectroscopy
MOTIVATION Misfolding of membrane proteins plays an important role in many human diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, hereditary deafness and diabetes insipidus. Little is known about membrane proteins as there are only very few high-resolution structures. Single-molecule force spectroscopy is a novel technique, which measures the force necessary to pull a protein out of a membrane. Such forc...
متن کاملOn artifacts in single-molecule force spectroscopy.
In typical force spectroscopy experiments, a small biomolecule is attached to a soft polymer linker that is pulled with a relatively large bead or cantilever. At constant force, the total extension stochastically changes between two (or more) values, indicating that the biomolecule undergoes transitions between two (or several) conformational states. In this paper, we consider the influence of ...
