Analyzing Telomeric Protein-DNA Interactions Using Single-Molecule Magnetic Tweezers

This protocol demonstrates using single-molecule magnetic tweezers to study interactions between telomeric DNA-binding proteins (Telomere Repeat-binding Factor 1 [TRF1] and TRF2) and long telomeres extracted from human cells. It describes the preparatory steps for telomeres and telomeric repeat-binding factors, the execution of single-molecule experiments, and the data collection and analysis...

Single-Molecule Measurement of Protein Interaction Dynamics Within Biomolecular Condensates

Many intrinsically disordered proteins have been shown to participate in the formation of highly dynamic biomolecular condensates, a behavior important for numerous cellular processes. Here, we present a single-molecule imaging-based method for quantifying the dynamics by which proteins interact with each other in biomolecular condensates in live...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to Study Atomic Level Protein-Protein Interactions

This video describes the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique to study protein-protein interactions between 15N-labeled wild-type and mutant envoplakin proteins and the unlabeled vimentin protein. The successful interaction between wild-type envoplakin and vimentin leads to extensive line broadening and peak disappearance in the NMR spectra, whereas the absence of an interaction between the mutated envoplakin and vimentin results in well-resolved peaks in the NMR...

Measuring the Spin-Lattice Relaxation Magnetic Field Dependence of Hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate

We present a protocol to measure the magnetic field dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation time of 13C-enriched compounds, hyperpolarized by means of dynamic nuclear polarization, using fast field-cycled relaxometry. Specifically, we have demonstrated this with [1-13C]pyruvate, but the protocol could be extended to other hyperpolarized...
