Structure-function analysis of a multifunctional enzyme using the atomic force microscope

The type I R-M enzyme EcoR124I is a multifunctional, multisubunit molecular motor with the ability to self-assemble. In the presence of hydrophobic compounds, subunit disassembly has been observed leading to the possibility of using the enzyme as a nanoactuator in toxicity biosensors. A better under...
