Abstract

Single-molecule mechanical measurements can provide an unprecedented view into the shape, stabilities, and dynamics of biomolecules and their interactions. However, current challenges in determining the spatial arrangement of multiple residues within each molecule with a reasonable resolution and accuracy, have restricted applications. By combining structural DNA nanotechnology with dual-trap optical tweezers, we recently developed a mechanically reconfigurable DNA Nanoswitch Caliper (DNC) capable of measuring multiple distances on single biomolecules with atomic resolution.
