Riboswitch Structure and Dynamics by smFRET Microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Riboswitches are structured noncoding RNA elements that control the expression of their embedding messenger RNAs by sensing the intracellular concentration of diverse metabolites. As the name suggests, riboswitches are dynamic in nature so that studying their inherent conformational dynamics and ligand-mediated folding is important for understanding ...

The telomerase essential N-terminal domain promotes DNA synthesis by stabilizing short RNA-DNA hybrids. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Telomerase is an enzyme that adds repetitive DNA sequences to the ends of chromosomes and consists of two main subunits: the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) protein and an associated telomerase RNA (TER). The telomerase essential N-terminal (TEN)

Exploring Intra- and Inter-Regional Interactions in the IDP α-Synuclein Using smFRET and MD Simulations

open access: yesBiomacromolecules, 2023
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 ...

Quantitative comparison between sub-millisecond time resolution single-molecule FRET measurements and 10-second molecular simulations of a biosensor protein.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2020
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations seek to provide atomic-level insights into conformationally dynamic biological systems at experimentally relevant time resolutions, such as those afforded by single-molecule fluorescence measurements.

Allosteric collaboration between elongation factor G and the ribosomal L1 stalk directs tRNA movements during translation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Determining the mechanism by which transfer RNAs (tRNAs) rapidly and precisely transit through the ribosomal A, P and E sites during translation remains a major goal in the study of protein synthesis.

8-spot smFRET analysis using two 8-pixel SPAD arrays [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2013
Single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) techniques are now widely used to address outstanding problems in biology and biophysics. In order to study freely diffusing molecules, current approaches consist in exciting a low concentration (

Allosteric modulators enhance agonist efficacy by increasing the residence time of a GPCR in the active state

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Here, the authors use smFRET to assess the structural dynamics of metabotropic glutamate receptor mGlu2 and show that a positive allosteric modulator or the Gi protein stabilize mGlu2 in the glutamate-induced active state, leading to the full activation ...
