A Single-Molecule Hershey-Chase Experiment
Ever since Hershey and Chase used phages to establish DNA as the carrier of genetic information in 1952, the precise mechanisms of phage DNA translocation have been a mystery. Although bulk measurements have set a timescale for in vivo DNA translocation during bacteriophage infection, measurements of DNA ejection by single bacteriophages have only been made in vitro. Here, we present direct vis...
متن کاملMonte carlo simulation of a single-molecule detection experiment.
The physical and instrumental processes that occur in experiments for the detection of individual fluorescent molecules in solution are described, with emphasis on their incorporation into a quantitative Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation is applied to the conditions of a past experiment [Appl. Opt. 34, 3208 (1995)], which utilizes a sheath flow system for high detection efficiency, and it ...

متن کاملRotational drag on DNA: a single molecule experiment.
Within a single-molecule configuration, we have studied rotational drag on double stranded linear DNA by measuring the force during mechanical opening and closing of the double helix at different rates. The molecule is cranked at one end by the effect of unzipping and is free to rotate at the other end. In this configuration the rotational friction torque tau on double-stranded DNA leads to an ...
متن کاملAmine-gold linked single-molecule circuits: experiment and theory.
A combination of theory and experiment is used to quantitatively understand the conductance of single-molecule benzenediamine-gold junctions. A newly developed analysis is applied to a measured junction conductance distribution, based on 59 000 individual conductance traces, which has a clear peak at 0.0064 G0 and a width of +/-47%. This analysis establishes that the distribution width originat...
