Abstract

We present a new method for high speed tracking of fluorescence time series from single proteins. The method uses a fast sample flow and a modified confocal microscopy, line confocal microscopy, and achieves the time resolution of less than 20 μs. The obtained time series from the B domain of protein A labeled with donor and acceptor fluorophores suggest conformational heterogeneity and dynamic fluctuations in the unfolded state.
