Single-molecule FRET (smFRET) is a powerful tool to investigate molecular structures and conformational changes of biological molecules. The technique requires protein samples that are site-specifically equipped with a pair of donor and acceptor fluorophores. Here, we present a detailed protocol for preparing double-labeled proteins for smFRET studies. The protocol describes two cell-free approaches to achieve a selective label scheme that allows the highest possible accuracy in inter-dye distance determination.
单分子荧光共振能量转移(smFRET)是研究生物分子的分子结构和构象变化的有力工具。该技术需要在特定位点配备一对供体和受体荧光团的蛋白质样品。在此,我们提供了一份用于制备用于smFRET研究的双标记蛋白质的详细方案。该方案描述了两种无细胞方法,以实现一种选择性标记方案,从而在染料间距离测定中达到尽可能高的准确性。
