A)X-ray crystallography
B)TIRF microscopy
C)GFP fusion proteins
D)optical tweezers
E)radioactive pulse labeling

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Optical tweezers are a powerful tool for measuring the strength of molecular interactions, including the interaction between v-SNAREs and t-SNAREs. This technique can apply and measure very small forces on individual molecules, allowing for the direct quantification of the strength of the interaction between them.
