Exploring single-molecule dynamics with fluorescence nanoscopy
The study of molecular dynamics at the single-molecule level with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and far-field optics has contributed greatly to the functional understanding of complex systems. Unfortunately, such studies are restricted to length scales of >200 nm because diffraction does not allow further reduction of the measurement volume. This sets an upper limit on the applica...
متن کاملSingle-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy of protein folding.
Single-molecule spectroscopy is an important new approach for studying the intrinsically heterogeneous process of protein folding. This Review illustrates how different single-molecule fluorescence techniques have improved our understanding of mechanistic aspects in protein folding, exemplified by a series of recent experiments on a small protein.
متن کاملSingle-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy in (bio)catalysis.
The ever-improving time and space resolution and molecular detection sensitivity of fluorescence microscopy offer unique opportunities to deepen our insights into the function of chemical and biological catalysts. Because single-molecule microscopy allows for counting the turnover events one by one, one can map the distribution of the catalytic activities of different sites in solid heterogeneo...
متن کاملSingle-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging
Observability of individual fluorescent molecules under a microscope has many applications in biology.1, 2 In particular, by grafting fluorophores to biomolecules, they can be tracked in real time in live cells for monitoring of their conformational changes and interactions with other molecules. In other words, singlemolecule imaging allows scientists to read the textbook of life pretty much as...
متن کاملMonitoring hydroquinone-quinone redox cycling by single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy.
Current research in the field of single-molecule chemistry is increasingly focused on the development of reliable experimental approaches for investigating chemical processes on a molecular level using single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy (SMFS). Herein, we report on single-molecule observations of the copper(II)/air mediated oxidation of fluorescently labeled hydroquinone-based probe mole...
