Characterization of PKR–RNA complex by Dynamic light scattering (DLS) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0542-WXH)

Introduction

PKR is a major player of innate immunity providing support against viral infection by recognising viral doublestranded RNA, and ultimately influences a number of cellular activities. It is composed of two doublestranded RNA binding motifs (dsRBM) connected by a flexible linker as well as a kinase domain that is linked to dsRBMs by a linker

Principle

Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is an established and precise measurement technique for characterizing particle sizes in suspensions and emulsions. It is based on the Brownian motion of particles - this states that smaller particles move faster, while larger ones move slower in a liquid. The light scattered by particles contains information on the diffusion speed and thus on the size distribution.
The Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) technique measures motion optically by recording the scattered light signal at a fixed angle. The particles are illuminated with a monochromatic, coherent light source (laser) and the light scattered by the particles is recorded.

Applications

DLS is used to characterize the size of various particles including proteins, polymers, micelles, Protein cages and virus-like particles, vesicles, carbohydrates, nanoparticles, biological cells, and gels.

Procedure

1. Sample preparation
2. Measurement by DLS instrument
3. Data analysis
