Herein, we report our non-equilibrium smFRET studies in a microfluidic mixer to directly probe the transition rate from the unfolded state to the native folded state after the collapse. We labeled donor and acceptor dyes at selected sites to detect the kinetics of the conformational reorganization of the subdomains and the global molecule in the refolding landscape. By examining the unfolded and folded states, the kinetic measurements suggested that different domains adopt different searching pathways to reach the native conformation.
