Time‐resolved nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy were utilized to investigate the complex G‐quadruplex folding landscape of the human telomeric DNA in the presence of the ligand Phen‐DC3. Our findings revealed significant differences in the kinetics of the pathways originating from the unfolded or K+‐bound state ...

Automated smFRET microscope for the quantification of label-free DNA oligos
Single-molecule FRET (smFRET) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying inhomogeneous dynamics in biological systems. However, because of the intrinsic variations that accompany the sample sizes, massive data sets are essential to extract statistically reliable information.

Conformational changes in Arp2/3 complex induced by ATP, WASp-VCA, and actin filaments [PDF]
We used fluorescence spectroscopy and EM to determine how binding of ATP, nucleation-promoting factors, actin monomers, and actin filaments changes the conformation of Arp2/3 complex during the process that nucleates an actin filament branch.

Conformational transition of FGFR kinase activation revealed by site-specific unnatural amino acid reporter and single molecule FRET [PDF]
Protein kinases share significant structural similarity; however, structural features alone are insufficient to explain their diverse functions. Thus, bridging the gap between static structure and function requires a more detailed understanding of ...

eIF4G stimulates the activity of the DEAD box protein eIF4A by a conformational guidance mechanism [PDF]
The activity of eIF4A, a key player in translation initiation, is regulated by other translation factors through currently unknown mechanisms. Here, we provide the necessary framework to understand the mechanism of eIF4A's regulation by eIF4G.

An optimization algorithm for single-molecule fluorescence resonance (smFRET) data processing
The single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) technique plays an important role in the development of biophysics. Measuring the changes of the fluorescence intensities of donor and acceptor and of the FRET efficiency can reveal the changes of distance between the labeling positions.

The Spliceosomal Protein Prp8 Stabilizes A Compact Conformation Of The U2-U6 Complex [PDF]
The spliceosome is a large, RNA-protein complex that catalyzes pre-mRNA splicing during mRNA maturation. The RNA components (small nuclear RNA; snRNAs) of the spliceosome have been well studied and are believed to be involved in the splicing catalysis ...
