DNA Nanoantenna for Measuring Protein Shape
June 14, 2022 | Terry Sharrer
Biochemists at the University of Montreal-Quebec have “created a system to bind fluorophores to different locales on any protein. Now, when there’s a change on a protein coupled with a fluorophore, the antenna will fluoresce within milliseconds. . . . When the protein moves, it changes the structure of the fluorophore, and we are we are able to see the change, . . . [and] that change can be detected with the kind of spectrometers found in labs everywhere.” MORE
