High-Resolution Optical Tweezers for Single-Molecule Manipulation
Forces hold everything together and determine its structure and dynamics. In particular, tiny forces of 1-100 piconewtons govern the structures and dynamics of biomacromolecules. These forces enable folding, assembly, conformational fluctuations, or directional movements of biomacromolecules over sub-nanometer to micron distances. Optical tweezers have become a revolutionary tool to probe the f...
متن کاملMeasuring Picometer Nanospositioner Resolution
The article describes a new technique for measuring the resolution of nanopositioning systems. By recording the voltage applied to an actuator and performing a filtering operation, the position noise and resolution can be estimated. This technique is simple to apply in practice and does not require any additional sensors or specialized equipment such as laser interferometers. The resolution of ...
متن کاملRevealing dynamics of helicase translocation on single-stranded DNA using high-resolution nanopore tweezers.
Enzymes that operate on DNA or RNA perform the core functions of replication and expression in all of biology. To gain high-resolution access to the detailed mechanistic behavior of these enzymes, we developed single-molecule picometer-resolution nanopore tweezers (SPRNT), a single-molecule technique in which the motion of polynucleotides through an enzyme is measured by a nanopore. SPRNT revea...
متن کاملA single-molecule nanopore device detects DNA polymerase activity with single-nucleotide resolution.
The ability to monitor DNA polymerase activity with single-nucleotide resolution has been the cornerstone of a number of advanced single-molecule DNA sequencing concepts. Toward this goal, we report the first observation of the base-by-base DNA polymerase activity with single-base resolution at the single-molecule level. We describe the design and characterization of a supramolecular nanopore d...
متن کاملSingle-molecule nanopore enzymology.
Biological nanopores are a class of membrane proteins that open nanoscale water conduits in biological membranes. When they are reconstituted in artificial membranes and a bias voltage is applied across the membrane, the ionic current passing through individual nanopores can be used to monitor chemical reactions, to recognize individual molecules and, of most interest, to sequence DNA. In addit...
