Single-molecule FRET study of SNARE-mediated membrane fusion.
Membrane fusion is one of the most important cellular processes by which two initially distinct lipid bilayers merge their hydrophobic cores, resulting in one interconnected structure. Proteins, called SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptor), play a central role in the fusion process that is also regulated by several accessory proteins. In order to study th...
متن کاملBOBA FRET: Bootstrap-Based Analysis of Single-Molecule FRET Data
Time-binned single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) experiments with surface-tethered nucleic acids or proteins permit to follow folding and catalysis of single molecules in real-time. Due to the intrinsically low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in smFRET time traces, research over the past years has focused on the development of new methods to extract discrete states (conformati...
متن کاملSingle-molecule switchable FRET
Two-photon microscopy offers unique advantages for excitation of channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2)-expressing neurons, but previous attempts had limitations in terms of the axial and temporal resolution. Emiliani and colleagues now use a scanless approach that combines generalized phase contrast and temporal focusing to shape two-photon excitation patterns and trigger single action potentials or trains...
متن کاملSingle-molecule three-color FRET.
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measured at the single-molecule level can reveal conformational changes of biomolecules and intermolecular interactions in physiologically relevant conditions. Thus far single-molecule FRET has been measured only between two fluorophores. However, for many complex systems, the ability to observe changes in more than one distance is desired and FRET ...
متن کاملKinetics of complexin binding to the SNARE complex: correcting single molecule FRET measurements for hidden events.
Virtually all measurements of biochemical kinetics have been derived from macroscopic measurements. Single-molecule methods can reveal the kinetic behavior of individual molecular complexes and thus have the potential to determine heterogeneous behaviors. Here we have used single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer to determine the kinetics of binding of SNARE (soluble N-ethyl malei...
