FRET on the β-sheet-state dansyl-SC3. (A) Solid line: fluorescence spectrum of TFA/dansyl-SC3 + TFA/dabcyl-SC3 (molar ratio 1:1) in buffer. Dotted line: the same sample supplemented with Teflon spheres and heated up to 65°C. Dashed line: the same sample supplemented with 0.1% (v/v) Tween 80 and incubated to 15 h. The spectra were corrected for the background signal and the changes of volumes. (B) The kinetic fluorescence recorded at 520nm. Thick solid line: fluorescence change of β-sheet-state TFA/dansyl-SC3 + TFA/dabcyl-SC3 (molar ratio 1:1) on Teflon. Thin solid line: β-sheet-state TFA/dansyl-SC3/dabcyl-SC3 (molar ratio 1:1) on Teflon. Dotted line: β-sheet-state dansyl-SC3 on Teflon. The decrease in fluorescence could be fit to two exponentials, with a lifetime t1 value of 2.5 min and a lifetime t2 of 278 min. Beta-sheet-state SC3 was induced by heating to 65°C in the presence of 0.1% (v/v) Tween 80. Dashed line: α-helical-state dansyl-SC3 on Teflon induced by adding Teflon spheres. F0 indicates the initial fluorescence recorded at time 0.
