Abstract
This is a protocol to conduct Native Nanobleach of native nanodiscs.
Note, this method is adapted from Walker, Brown, et al. (DOI: 10.1038/s41565-023-01547-4)
Prepare flow chamber by treating with poly-L-lysine (PLL) PEG and PEG-biotin.
Add streptavidin to flow chamber.
Add biotinylated GFP-nanobody to flow chamber.
Add native nanodiscs to the flow chamber for immobilization.
Conduct step-photobleaching analysis using TIRF microscopy.
