I270™ AFM Reference Protein |
| |
I27O™ is a recombinant polyprotein composed
of eight (8) repeats of the Ig 27 domain of human titin. The protein is
used as a reference and calibrator for force extension experiments using
atomic force microscopes. Single molecule measurements give up to eight saw
tooth force-extension curves with the following specifications: |

I27OÔ
is supplied as a ready-to-use solution. The protein concentration is
0.5-2.0 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline pH 7.3. To use, dilute the
protein to 100 mg/ml
in buffered saline and absorb to freshly prepared gold AFM coverslips.
Secure the coverslips to the retractable stage of the AFM instrument and
perform force extension measurements. The force-extension relationships for
the I27O polyprotein
are measured using
a single axis atomic force microscope. Single proteins are fully extended
by retracting the sample holder away from the AFM tip. Stretching of the
I27 polyprotein
should result in a
force-extension curve with peaks that varied randomly in amplitude with an
average value of ~200 pN and an average distance between each peak of ~24 nm
(see table above). Between 25% and 50% of the measurements should yield
unfolding curves for all eight domains. Collect data on 20 or more single
molecule full-length extensions and calculate the values for the distance
between peaks, the magnitude of the force peaks, the persistence length and
the contour length for each domain. |
