A genetically encoded anomalous SAXS ruler to probe the dimensions of intrinsically disordered proteins.

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) adopt ensembles of rapidly fluctuating heterogeneous conformations, influencing their binding capabilities and supramolecular transitions. The primary conformational descriptors for understanding IDP ensembles-the radius of gyration (), measured by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and the root mean square (rms) end-to-end distance (), probed by fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET)-are often reported to produce inconsistent results regarding IDP expansion as a function of denaturant concentration in the buffer. This ongoing debate surrounding the FRET-SAXS discrepancy raises questions about the overall reliability of either method for quantitatively studying IDP properties.

Novel high-throughput protein detection technologies are critically needed for population-based large-scale SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection as well as for monitoring quality and duration of immunity against virus variants. Current protein microarray techniques rely heavily on labeled transduction methods that require sophisticated instruments and complex operations, limiting their clinical potential, particularly for point-of-care (POC) applications. Here, we developed a label-free and naked-eye readable microarray (NRM) based on a thickness-sensing plasmon ruler, enabling antibody profiling within 30 min.

Optical biosensors, especially those based on plasmonic structures, have emerged recently as a potential tool for disease diagnostics. Plasmonic biosensors have demonstrated impressive benefits for the label-free detection of trace biomarkers in human serum. However, widespread applications of these technologies are hindered because of their insufficient sensitivity, their relatively complex chemical immobilization processes, and the use of prism couplers.

Much about septin function has been inferred from in vivo studies using mainly genetic methods, and much of what we know about septin organization has been obtained through examination of static structures in vitro primarily by electron microscopy. Deeper mechanistic insight requires real-time analysis of the dynamics of the assembly of septin-based structures and how other proteins associate with them. We describe here a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based approach for measuring in vitro the rate and extent of filament formation from septin complexes, binding of other proteins to septin structures, and the apparent affinities of these interactions.
