Verification of Single-Molecule Imaging and Single-Molecule Measurements
Single-molecule imaging and single-molecule measurements constitute an integral part of life science researches. The research method, which allows direct measurements of individual motions and events of biomolecules, has contributed much to the development of life science research by providing us with numerous findings. It is left up to the judgment of

Single molecule imaging of mRNA splicing [PDF]
Most eukaryotic mRNA precursors (pre-mRNAs) are interrupted by non-coding intervening sequences known as introns which must be precisely and efficiently removed to yield correct mature mRNAs. The process of intron excision, pre-mRNA splicing, takes place in a multicomponent ribonucleoprotein complexes which assemble in a stepwise pathway.

T Cell Membrane Heterogeneity Aids Antigen Recognition and T Cell Activation
T cells are critical for co-ordinating the immune response. T cells are activated when their surface T cell receptors (TCRs) engage cognate antigens in the form of peptide-major histocompatibility complexes (pMHC) presented on the surface of antigen ...

Building a Total Internal Reflection Microscope (TIRF) with Active Stabilization (Feedback SMLM)
The data quality of high-resolution imaging can be markedly improved with active stabilization, which is based on feedback loops within the microscope that maintain the sample in the same location throughout the experiment.

Fluorescence Microscopy Assay to Measure HIV-1 Capsid Uncoating Kinetics in vitro
The stability of the HIV-1 capsid and the spatiotemporal control of its disassembly, a process called uncoating, need to be finely tuned for infection to proceed.

Functional analysis of the secondary HIV-1 capsid binding site in the host protein cyclophilin A
Background Efficient HIV-1 replication depends on interaction of the viral capsid with the host protein cyclophilin A (CypA). CypA, a peptidylprolyl isomerase, binds to an exposed loop in the viral CA protein via the enzyme’s active site.

Serotonin: an overlooked regulator of endocytosis and endosomal sorting?
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter and a hormone that is typically associated with regulating our mood. However, the serotonin transporter and receptors are expressed throughout the body, highlighting the much broader, systemic role of serotonin in ...

Kinetics of HIV-1 capsid uncoating revealed by single-molecule analysis
Uncoating of the metastable HIV-1 capsid is a tightly regulated disassembly process required for release of the viral cDNA prior to nuclear import. To understand the intrinsic capsid disassembly pathway and how it can be modulated, we have developed a ...
