An smFRET assay to probe the impact of antibiotics on intersubunit rotation in eukaryotic ribosomes
Protein translation involves large-scale structural rearrangements within the ribosome. During translation elongation, the two subunits of the ribosome rotate with respect to each other to allow for tRNA-mRNA translocation. While conformational changes of bacterial ribosomes have been extensively explored using cryo-EM and single-molecule microscopy ...

Alternation histograms for μs-ALEX and ns-ALEX measurements.
Histograms used for the selection/determination of the alternation periods for two typical smFRET-ALEX experiments. Distributions of photons detected by donor channel are in green, and by acceptor channel in red.

Operational regime of different FRET methods.
Conventional smFRET and fluorometric assays are difficult to perform in the intermediate concentration regime (100 pM to 1 nM, shaded area). Quasi-bulk smFRET and microplate-scanning FRET (μpsFRET), on the contrary, allow us to accurately determine FRET ...

Prism-Based smFRET TIRF Analysis Shows Dynamic and Transient Interactions in Free Fulllength NFκB, Potentially Due to the Presence of the Disordered Transcription Activation Domain [PDF]
Single molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) is a powerful biophysical structural method for investigating the structural dynamics and interactions of biomolecules at the single-molecule level. By utilizing fluorophores strategically placed

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a quantum mechanical process governing the nonradiative energy transfer between coupled electric dipoles. Its strong distance dependence makes it a widely used as a “molecular ruler” in biology, chemistry, and ...
