Brillouin Scattering of a Single Protein
EF 2016-17
Résumé
The present proposal aims to measure the vibration modes of individual proteins. The approach to do this will use Brillouin scattering, combined with our double nanohole optical tweezer configuration that can trap and isolate single proteins in solution. This is expected to lead to a clearer understanding of protein dynamics, their role in life function and diseases, and how mutant proteins can be corrected by drugs and environment.
