Real-time monitoring of conformational transitions of single-molecule histone deacetylase 8 with nanocircuits.

ABSTRACT: Using single-molecule approaches, we directly observed the dynamic interaction between HDAC8 and various ligands as well as conformational interconversions during the catalytic reaction. Statistical analysis identified key kinetic parameters, demonstrating that the enzymatic activity is highly sensitive to both minor variations in the ligand structures and small synthetic molecules.
