Developing Multichannel smFRET Approach to Dissecting Ribosomal Mechanisms
The ribosome, a 2.6 megadalton biomolecule measuring approximately 20 nm in diameter, coordinates numerous ligands, factors, and regulators to translate proteins with high fidelity and speed. Understanding its complex functions necessitates multiperspective observations.

Single-photon smFRET. I: Theory and conceptual basis
We present a unified conceptual framework and the associated software package for single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) analysis from single-photon arrivals leveraging Bayesian nonparametrics, BNP-FRET.

Single-photon smFRET: II. Application to continuous illumination
Here we adapt the Bayesian nonparametrics (BNP) framework presented in the first companion article to analyze kinetics from single-photon, single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) traces generated under continuous illumination.

Cotranslational Incorporation into Proteins of a Fluorophore Suitable for smFRET Studies
Single-molecule FRET (smFRET) is a powerful tool to investigate conformational changes of biological molecules. In general, smFRET studies require protein samples that are site-specifically double-labeled with a pair of donor and acceptor fluorophores.

Parallel multispot smFRET analysis using an 8-pixel SPAD array [PDF]
Single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) is a powerful tool for extracting distance information between two fluorophores (a donor and acceptor dye) on a nanometer scale. This method is commonly used to monitor binding interactions or intra- and intermolecular conformations in biomolecules freely diffusing through a focal volume or ...

Paving the way for structural modelling by smFRET measurements
The thesis at hand contributes to the field of structure determination of bio-macromolecules. It focuses on the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), which allows to infer distances at the molecular level (≈ 2-10 nm) making FRET a promising tool for structure analysis.

Pathogenic mechanism of the K141E mutation in HSPB8: Insights from smFRET and simulations
Pathogenic mutations can have a large impact on the conformational ensemble of intrinsically disordered proteins, but revealing those effects and their physiological relevance can be challenging. We used large-scale all-atom explicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations and single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) experiments to ...
