摘要

We present a procedure for a precise power spectral analysis of optical tweezers data. This procedure uses the entire frequency range of the experimental power spectrum. We apply this procedure to experimental data from a biological system, data for the motion of a microsphere attached with a biotin-streptavidin linker to a single protein, the λ-receptor of E. coli. As in [Oddershede et al, Biophys. J. 83, 3152 (2002)] and [Oddershede et al, J. Phys.: Condens. Mat. 15, S1737 (2003)], we find that the λ-receptor moves diffusively in the outer membrane, but is confined to a particular region by a harmonic potential. Here, we show that since the power spectrum is known with precision up to its Nyquist frequency of 8 kHz, one can resolve the relative motion of the λ-receptor and the microsphere attached to it. We find that the biotin-streptavidin link between them can be described as a Hookean spring. Since we can see only the microsphere, these results are based on an interpretation of the power spectrum of its motion. This interpretation is based on a model. We use the simplest model that is necessary and sufficient to interpret the power spectrum in its full range. This model fits the spectrum well and the fit yields the model's parameters with some precision. These results indicate that optical tweezers have the potential to become a tool of precision. We discuss improvements of experiments and analysis that are necessary in order to realize this potential.

Phys .: Condens。垫。 15,S1737(2003)],我们发现λ受体在外膜中扩散扩散,但受谐波电位限制在特定区域。在这里,我们表明,由于能以高达8 kHz的奈奎斯特频率精确地获知功率谱,因此可以解决λ受体和与其相连的微球的相对运动。我们发现,它们之间的生物素-链霉亲和素链接可以描述为胡木泉。因为我们只能看到微球,所以这些结果是基于对它运动的功率谱的解释。这种解释是基于模型的。我们使用必要和足够的最简单模型来解释其整个范围内的功率谱。该模型很好地拟合了光谱,并且拟合以一定的精度产生了模型的参数。这些结果表明,光镊有可能成为精密工具。我们讨论了改进实验和分析的必要条件,以实现这一潜力。
