Find Tim and Charlotte at today's #LondonPolymerGroup meeting (at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social) to learn how single-molecule data can complement your existing workflows to reveal polydispersity and #polymer conformational dynamics, and confirm nanoparticle cargo loading or leakage in real-time.
๐ How can #FCS be used to quantify interactions of #proteins with binding partners? See how Prof Elizabeth Rhoades' lab used FCS, along with other biophysical methods, as a tool to investigate cellular internalisation of disordered proteins linked to neurodegeneration > youtu.be/Z7nbpW1xBpg?...
๐ค How do #proteins reshape RNA dynamics? Static structures tell only half the story. Using smFRET on the EI-FLEX, the @chillzaa.bsky.social lab at @yorkuniversity.bsky.social mapped viral proteinโdependent RNA pseudoknot formation - revealing it as a binary, protein-triggered event > buff.ly/IVQYK72
๐ Your #molecules are doing something exciting! But what, exactly? Discover - when and why - #smFRET is the method of choice to use alongside your current techniques, adding a layer of dynamic data that can quantify #biomolecularconformations and complex formation. Learn more > buff.ly/arAGYZ4
๐ Congratulations to Chadda et al. on their new paper! #smFRET on the EI-FLEX provided a highly complementary technique alongside SEC, mass spectrometry, mass photometry & bulk FRET to elucidate the pathway that forms mature intasomes from viral #DNA & retrovirus integrase dimers.๐ > buff.ly/mkBUmjc
๐ What Exciting things are your molecules really doing? Introducing the EI-FLEX Pro and Pro HT - designed to reveal dynamics, binding, and aggregation in real time with the ultimate single-molecule resolution and no specialist setup > youtu.be/peLNtmqAVIM
