Linking single-molecule blinking to chromophore structure and redox potentials.
Intensity fluctuations between an ON-state and an OFF-state, also called blinking, are common to all luminescent objects when studied at the level of individuals. We studied blinking of three dyes from a homologous series (Cy3, Cy5, Cy7). The underlying radical anion states were induced by removing oxidants (i.e. oxygen) and by adding the reductant ascorbic acid. We find that for different cond...
متن کاملBlinking Molecule Tracking
We discuss a method for tracking individual molecules which globally optimizes the likelihood of the connections between molecule positions fast and with high reliability even for high spot densities and blinking molecules. Our method works with cost functions which can be freely chosen to combine costs for distances between spots in space and time and which can account for the reliability of p...
متن کاملTesting for renewal and detailed balance violations in single-molecule blinking processes.
This paper examines methods to test one- and two-dimensional histograms for several features including the renewal properties, detailed balance violations, and experimental condition dependences. The tests are simple to implement and allow rigorous statistical determination of the existence of these kinetic features. The tests are used to determine the lower bound on the number of measurements ...
متن کاملA dendritic single-molecule fluorescent probe that is monovalent, photostable, and minimally blinking
Single-molecule fluorescence techniques have emerged as a powerful approach to understanding complex biological systems. However, a challenge researchers still face is the limited photostability of nearly all organic fluorophores, including the cyanine and Alexa dyes. We report a new, monovalent probe that emits in the far-red region of the visible spectrum with properties desirable for single-...
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...
