Probing liquid dynamics, one molecule at a time.
Viscous liquids are the precursors to glassy solids, a class of materials found in many important applications. Glasses are materials that have solidified via a gradual increase in viscosity, rather than by crystallization (1). As a result, understanding the dynamics of liquids near their glass transition temperature, Tg, will help create better noncrystalline solids and improve our knowledge o...
متن کاملBiomechanics, one molecule at a time.
Single-molecule observation has come of age. Parallel developments of sensitive mechanical probes and single fluorophore detection now fuse into unique combinations, allowing investigators to examine shape and chemical transitions of single molecules with ever increasing precision and finesse. Optical trapping, using focused laser beams to constrain dielectric particles in solution (for reviews...
متن کاملBiological mechanisms, one molecule at a time.
The last 15 years have witnessed the development of tools that allow the observation and manipulation of single molecules. The rapidly expanding application of these technologies for investigating biological systems of ever-increasing complexity is revolutionizing our ability to probe the mechanisms of biological reactions. Here, we compare the mechanistic information available from single-mole...
متن کاملRNA reactions one molecule at a time.
Much of the dynamics information is lost in bulk measurements because of the population averaging. Single-molecule methods measure one molecule at a time; they provide knowledge not obtainable by other means. In this article, we review the application of the two most widely used single-molecule methods--fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and force versus extension measurements--to se...

is reversible; if substrate were removed, would the majority of particles return to the standard conformation? The expanded structure is highly deformed from the standard state, but the relatively modest resolution of the reconstructions (12–16 Å), due to unresolved heterogeneity in the dataset, means that interpretation of what exactly happens to the GroEL domains is unclear, although the apic...
