Abstract

Real-time measurement of the catalysis and substrate kinetics of a single-enzyme hydrolysis reaction is demonstrated with confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM; see picture, green = CFM beam). A single lipase is shown to have a broad range of conformations; each conformation contributes to the overall enzymatic activity, an observation that is often masked by ensemble measurements.
