Descripción
This study investigates the use of spectral phasor analysis, hyperspectral imaging, and 6-acetyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene (ACDAN) fluorescence to explore key protein transitions: unfolding, amyloid aggregation, and liquid-liquid phase separation. We show that ACDAN fluorescence can sensitively detect subtle conformational changes before the complete protein unfolds, revealing early microenvironmental shifts. During amyloid formation, ACDAN identifies solvent dipolar relaxation events undetectable by conventional thioflavin T, providing critical insight into early aggregation events. Additionally, we map the physicochemical properties of protein biocondensates and highlight distinct microenvironments within these condensates, emphasizing the significance of dipolar relaxation in phase-separated systems. The approach provides a flexible and user-friendly toolkit for studying protein transitions, which can be easily implemented in commercial spectrofluorometers and microscopes.
