Ni-NTA-Nanogold® in hybrid technique for protein structure elucidation with nanometer precision

• Jen-Wei Chang, Yi-Min Wua, Zi-Yun Chen, Shih-Hsin Huang, Chun-Hsiung Wanga, Pei-lun Wua, Yi-ping Wenga, Changjiang You, Jacob Piehler, Wei-hau Chang. Hybrid electron microscopy-FRET imaging localizes the dynamical C-terminus of Tfg2 in RNA polymerase II–TFIIF with nanometer precision. J. Struct. Biol. (2013).
  • A new, hybrid technique leverages the power of Ni-NTA-Nanogold® labeling, single particle analysis with EM, and FRET-- achieving nanomater precision in protein architecture mapping. The group has used this powerful method to elucidate the structure and function of key components of the DNA transcription mechanism, even revealing the movement of these parts as they interact with DNA and physically initiate transcription.
