Abstract

The application of force to reagents that participate in a chemical reaction can probe the transition state of the reaction with sub-Angstrom resolution. Using single-molecule force-clamp spectroscopy, this approach has been extensively applied to the cleavage of disulfide bonds in proteins. However, to date there is no methodology that can expand this class of experiments to bonds not naturally present in proteins. Here, we introduce an experimental platform with the potential to fulfill the requirements to perform single-bond rupture determinations on any covalent bond.
