Figure 3. Single-molecule FRET of ε conformational changes in F1.
A, B: Photon bursts of FRET-labeled F1, with donor Atto488 attached to γ108 (green traces in lower panels,) and acceptor Atto647N attached to ε99 (red traces in lower panels, labeling efficiency 30%). Grey traces are Atto647N intensities upon direct excitation with 635 nm. C–E: FRET efficiency histograms for FRET-labeled F1, in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+ADP plus 3 mM Pi (C), 1 mM Mg2+AMPPNP (D), or 1 mM Mg2+ATP (E), respectively. See Fig. 1 for label positions. Reference lines are shown at EFRET 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75.
