This study develops a high-throughput, automated computational pipeline for subunit counting of biomolecular complexes using single-molecule brightness analysis. It systematically analyzes the experimental conditions and accuracy of counting, and provides a simple software tool for stoichiometry analysis of such complexes.
Analysis of single-molecule brightness allows subunit counting of high-order oligomeric biomolecular complexes. Although the theory behind the method has been extensively assessed, systematic analysis of the experimental conditions required to accurately quantify the stoichiometry of biological complexes remains challenging. In this work, we develop a high-throughput, automated computational pipeline for single-molecule brightness analysis that requires minimal human input. We use this strategy to systematically quantify the accuracy of counting under a wide range of experimental conditions in simulated ground-truth data and then validate its use on experimentally obtained data. Our approach defines a set of conditions under which subunit counting by brightness analysis is designed to work optimally and helps in establishing the experimental limits in quantifying the number of subunits in a complex of interest. Finally, we combine these features into a powerful, yet simple, software that can be easily used for the analysis of the stoichiometry of such complexes.
