Optical Tweezers for Monitoring Unfolding by the Protease ClpXP

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The biological motor ClpXP pulls against a targeted protein until it mechanically unfolds and translocates the polypeptide into a chamber for degradation. We directly monitor degradation of model polyprotein substrates in dual-trap single molecule assays.
