Research Focus

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, protein folding, intrinsically disordered proteins, stability and aggregation of proteins

Research Interest

We use single molecules spectroscopy to study the folding, dynamics and aggregation of protein molecules in aqueous solution and inside live neuroblastoma cells. We have developed, for the first time, the applications of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) to study microsecond fluctuations in protein molecules at single molecular resolution. Our group showed that a protein fluctuates between conformers of different radii, and these fluctuations (and not the structure alone) play key roles in defining its functions, folding and aggregation. Using alpha synuclein, a protein with strong implications in Parkinson’s disease (PD), we showed that these initial contacts can be correlated with subsequent oligomer formation and eventual formation of amyloid fibrils. Our work critically emphasizes on the importance of the early fluctuations towards developing small molecule aggregation inhibitors. Subsequently, our group used small molecules to coat magnetite nanoparticles for efficient inhibition of the early events of alpha synuclein aggregation. Using cytochrome c, we showed that these fluctuations affect the secondary function of apoptotic regulations of the protein. A highlight of this paper was written by a senior editor of Nature magazine for the June 2015 issue of Nature Chemical Biology.
