A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful shapes. Using a new approach to fluorescence microscopy, Hoi Sung Chung and ...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is initiated by an interaction between the human angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 (ACE2) receptor and the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S ...

Chung’s group captured the transition period directly by improving the time resolution of a method called single-molecule ...

(Nanowerk News) Proteins are naturally fluorescent in the ultraviolet, offering an appealing approach to probe proteins in their native state without introducing any external fluorescent label. The UV ...

Dynamics Author: Howard Goldner During the past few decades, fluorescence spectroscopy has developed into an integral technique in many scientific disciplines. In the life sciences, it is implemented ...

What is Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS)? Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a powerful analytical technique that enables the study of dynamic processes and interactions at the ...

Spectrofluorometer is an instrument that works on the principle of fluorescence spectroscopy. It is a rapid and sensitive method for the characterization of molecular components present in a sample.

High hydrostatic pressure has been shown to act as a thermodynamic parameter causing perturbation of protein structure that leads to the unfolding of proteins orthogonal to the action of temperature ...
