Förster resonance energy transfer and protein-induced fluorescence enhancement as synergetic multi-scale molecular rulers
Advanced microscopy methods allow obtaining information on (dynamic) conformational changes in biomolecules via measuring a single molecular distance in the structure. It is, however, extremely challenging to capture the full depth of a three-dimensional biochemical state, binding-related structural changes or conformational cross-talk in multi-protein complexes using one-dimensional assays. In...
متن کاملA Quantitative Theoretical Framework For Protein-Induced Fluorescence Enhancement–Förster-Type Resonance Energy Transfer (PIFE-FRET)
Single-molecule, protein-induced fluorescence enhancement (PIFE) serves as a molecular ruler at molecular distances inaccessible to other spectroscopic rulers such as Förster-type resonance energy transfer (FRET) or photoinduced electron transfer. In order to provide two simultaneous measurements of two distances on different molecular length scales for the analysis of macromolecular complexes,...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Imaging With One Color Fluorescence.
Single-molecule fluorescence imaging is a powerful tool that enables real-time observation of DNA-protein or RNA-protein interactions with a nanometer precision. Here, we provide a detailed procedure for a previously developed single-molecule fluorescence method, termed "single-molecule protein-induced fluorescence enhancement" (smPIFE). While smFRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) requires...
متن کاملMolecular-Fluorescence Enhancement via Blue-Shifted Plasmon-Induced Resonance Energy Transfer.
We report molecular-fluorescence enhancement via the blue-shifted plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer (PIRET) from single Au nanorods (AuNRs) to merocyanine (MC) dye molecules. The blue-shifted PIRET occurs when there is a proper spectral overlap between the scattering of AuNRs and the absorption of MC molecules. Along with the quenching of scattering from AuNRs, the blue-shifted PIRET en...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic molecular rulers based on DNA nanostructures
Molecular rulers that rely on the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism are widely used to investigate dynamic molecular processes that occur on the nanometer scale. However, the capabilities of these fluorescence molecular rulers are fundamentally limited to shallow imaging depths by light scattering in biological samples. Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) has recently emerged as a h...
