摘要

Single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy holds the promise of providing direct measurements of protein folding free energy landscapes and conformational motions. However, fulfilling this promise has been prevented by technical limitations, most notably, the difficulty in analyzing the small packets of photons per millisecond that are typically recorded from individual biomolecules. Such limitation impairs the ability to accurately determine conformational distributions and resolve sub-millisecond processes. Here we develop an analytical procedure for extracting the conformational distribution and dynamics of fast-folding proteins directly from time-stamped photon arrival trajectories produced by single molecule FRET experiments. Our procedure combines the maximum likelihood analysis originally developed by Gopich and Szabo with a statistical mechanical model that describes protein folding as diffusion on a one-dimensional free energy surface. Using stochastic kinetic simulations, we thoroughly tested the performance of the method in identifying diverse fast-folding scenarios, ranging from two-stateto one-state downhill folding, as a function of relevant experimentalvariables such as photon count rate, amount of input data, and backgroundnoise. The tests demonstrate that the analysis can accurately retrievethe original one-dimensional free energy surface and microsecond foldingdynamics in spite of the sub-megahertz photon count rates and significantbackground noise levels of current single molecule fluorescence experiments.Therefore, our approach provides a powerful tool for the quantitativeanalysis of single molecule FRET experiments of fast protein foldingthat is also potentially extensible to the analysis of any other biomolecularprocess governed by sub-millisecond conformational dynamics.
