Title: Single-Molecule Conformational Dynamics of Fluctuating Noncovalent DNA-Protein Interactions in DNA Damage Recognition

Journal Article · · Journal of the American Chemical Society, 123(37):9184-9185
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1021/ja0058942· OSTI ID:15001297

Single-molecule spectroscopy is a powerful methodology to characterize inhomogeneous samples 1-4 because information may be hidden or lost in conventional ensemble-averaged experiments due to intrinsic sample heterogeneities 5-7. Here we report a single-molecule spectroscopy study that reveals dynamics of fluctuating molecular noncovalent interactions within single protein-DNA complexes. This data will facilitate a molecule-level understanding for the dynamic mechanisms of the damage-recognition process in DNA repair 8.
