A Continuous Time Representation of smFRET for the Extraction of Rapid Kinetics [PDF]
Abstract Our goal is to learn kinetic rates from single molecule FRET (smFRET) data even if these exceed the data acquisition rate. To achieve this, we develop a variant of our recently proposed hidden Markov jump process (HMJP) with which we learn transition kinetics from parallel ...

Exploring Intra- and Inter-Regional Interactions in the IDP α-Synuclein Using smFRET and MD Simulations [PDF]
Theoretical concepts from polymer physics are often used to describe intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). However, amino acid interactions within and between regions of the protein can lead to deviations from typical polymer scaling behavior and ...

Cross-validation of distance measurements in proteins by PELDOR/DEER and single-molecule FRET
Pulsed electron-electron double resonance spectroscopy (PELDOR/DEER) and single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer spectroscopy (smFRET) are used to determine conformational changes and probe distances in biological macromolecules.

The Polymers of Life: Exploring Cellular Function Through Polymer Concepts. [PDF]
Biomolecular phase separation reveals that a hidden layer of cellular organization is governed by the principles of polymer science. This review bridges polymer physics and cell biology, offering a primer on fundamental concepts, proposing a framework for interrogating cellular function, and synthesizing biophysical methods for decoding macromolecular ...

Modifying the conformational ensemble of “molten‐globule” protein by the site‐specific incorporation of stereoisomeric 4‐fluoroproline residues modulated its binding affinity and aggregation behavior. 19F NMR spectroscopy enabled the detection of key interactions responsible for structural and dynamic changes. ABSTRACT Recently, the application of deep

Time-resolved burst variance analysis
Quantifying biomolecular dynamics has become a major task of single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy methods. In single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET), kinetic information is extracted from the stream of photons emitted by attached
