This chapter describes methods for high-speed, unloaded, in vitro single-molecule kinesin tracking experiments. Instructions are presented for constructing a total internal reflection dark-field microscope (TIRDFM) and labeling motors with gold nanoparticles. An AMP-PNP unlocking assay is introduced as a specialized means of capturing processive events in a reduced field of view. Finally, step-finding tools for analyzing high frame-rate tracking data are described.
本章介绍了用于高速、无负载的体外单分子驱动蛋白追踪实验的方法。文中给出了构建全内反射暗场显微镜(TIRDFM)以及用金纳米颗粒标记马达蛋白的说明。引入了一种AMP-PNP解锁测定法,作为在缩小视野中捕捉持续运动事件的一种特殊手段。最后,描述了用于分析高帧率追踪数据的步长查找工具。
