Effect of acidic pH on the stability of α‐synuclein dimers
ABSTRACT
Environmental factors, such as acidic pH, facilitate the assembly of α‐synuclein (α‐Syn) in aggregates, but the impact of pH on the very first step of α‐Syn aggregation remains elusive. Recently, we developed a single‐molecule approach that enabled us to measure directly the stability of α‐Syn dimers. Unlabeled α‐Syn monomers were immobilized on a substrate, and fluorophore‐labeled monomers were added to the solution to allow them to form dimers with immobilized α‐Syn monomers. The dimer lifetimes were measured directly from the fluorescence bursts on the time trajectories. Herein, we applied...

High ‐resolution, hybrid optical trapping methods, and their application to nucleic acid processing proteins
ABSTRACT
Optical tweezers have become a powerful tool to investigate nucleic‐acid processing proteins at the single‐molecule level. Recent advances in this technique have now enabled measurements resolving the smallest units of molecular motion, on the scale of a single base pair of DNA. In parallel, new instrumentation combining optical traps with other functionalities have been developed, incorporating mechanical manipulation along orthogonal directions or fluorescence imaging capabilities. Here, we review these technical advances, their capabilities, and limitations, focusing on benchmark studies of protein‐nuclei...
