Abstract
Molecular interactions are the basic language of biological processes.
They establish the forces interacting between the building blocks of
proteins and other macromolecules, thus determining their functional
roles. Because molecular interactions trigger virtually every
biological process, approaches to decipher their language are needed.
Single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) has been used to detect
and characterize different types of molecular interactions that occur
between and within native membrane proteins. The first experiments
detected and localized molecular interactions that stabilized
membrane proteins, including how these interactions were established
during folding of α-helical secondary structure elements into
the native protein and how they changed with oligomerization, temperature,
and mutations. SMFS also enables investigators to detect
and locate molecular interactions established during ligand and inhibitor
binding. These exciting applications provide opportunities
for studying the molecular forces of life. Further developments will
elucidate the origins of molecular interactions encoded in their lifetimes,
interaction ranges, interplay, and dynamics characteristic of biological systems.
