Time-Resolved Fluorescence Anisotropy from Single Molecules for Characterizing Local Flexibility in Biomolecules.
Article in Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We describe a protocol for conducting time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy at the single-molecule level using confocal microscopy to investigate the local flexibility and dynamics of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-binding forkhead (FKH) domain of the FoxP1 transcription factor. FoxP1 dimerizes through a three-dimensional domain-swapping (3D-DS) mechanism, forming a disordered intermediate with or without DNA. Since 3D-DS involves an intrinsically disordered region, understanding its behavior is crucial for elucidating the structural and functional properties of FoxP1. Using a single-cysteine-labeled FoxP1, we conducted single-molecule fluorescence anisotropy (smFA) experiments, applying dynamic anisotropy Photon Distribution Analysis (daPDA) and time-resolved anisotropy Burst Variance Analysis (traBVA) approaches to probe local flexibility and dynamics. This protocol provides a detailed, step-by-step guide for smFA measurements, emphasizing time-resolved analyses, variance, and probability distribution techniques to capture structural dynamics across different timescales. This approach enabled us to relate dynamics and heterogeneity to FoxP1 dimerization and DNA binding, highlighting the complex action mechanism that characterizes this transcription factor.
