Seeing the forest for the trees: fluorescence studies of single enzymes in the context of ensemble experiments

Enzymes are remarkable molecular machines that make many difficult biochemical reactions possible under mild biological conditions with incredible precision and efficiency. Our understanding of the working principles of enzymes, however, has not reached the level where one can readily deduce the mechanism and the catalytic rates from an enzyme's structure. Resolving the dynamics that relate the three-dimensional structure of an enzyme to its function has been identified as a key issue. While still challenging to implement, single-molecule techniques have emerged as one of the most useful methods for studying enzymes. We review enzymes studied using single-molecule fluorescent methods but placing them in the context of results from other complementary experimental work done on bulk samples. This review primarily covers three enzyme systems—flavoenzymes, dehydrofolate reductase, and adenylate kinase—with additional enzymes mentioned where appropriate. When the single-molecule experiments are discussed together with other methods aiming at the same scientific question, the weakness, strength, and unique contributions become clear.

This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
