Single-molecule FRET studies have resulted in an experimentally derived model of a synaptotagmin–SNARE complex. In this complex of SNARE with synaptotagmin 1, the arrangement of the Ca2+-binding ...

Single-molecule FRET microscopes are used in just a handful of high-tech labs around the world to measure relative and absolute distances between molecules. Related ...

FRET X can identify where specific amino acids and post-translational modifications are located in a single full-length protein molecule. genprowebdirectory Facebook Linkedin RSS Twitter Youtube ...

Techniques like single-molecule FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) have enabled the visualization of DNA-protein interactions, RNA folding, and the dynamics of transcription and translation.

When the protein is in the native state, coiled like a spring, the intramolecular FRET should be intense, but if denatured and stretched out, the FRET should weaken. To measure single molecules, ...

Her lab designs single-molecule fluorescence-based assays to investigate biomolecules in action and answer fundamental biological questions. Time-resolved fluorescence methods employed in her lab ...

Apr 10, 2023: Single molecule studies of quantum dot - dye energy transfer (Nanowerk Spotlight) The research groups of Prof. Ying Hu and Prof. Preston Snee of the UIC chemistry department have ...

As Craggs and the team explain, FRET is a photophysical process that transfers excitation energy from a donor fluorophore to an acceptor chromophore molecule. The efficiency of that energy transfer ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new material for single-molecule electronic switches, which can effectively vary current at the nanoscale in response to external stimuli. The material for this ...
