Summary

Automatic Translation

Time-resolved single-molecule protein-induced fluorescence enhancement is a useful fluorescence spectroscopic proximity sensor sensitive to local structural changes in proteins. Here we show it can be used to uncover stable local conformations in α-Synuclein, which is otherwise known as globularly unstructured and unstable when measured using the longer range FRET ruler.
