Single-Molecule FISH ▶ Single-Molecule RNA FISH Single-Molecule Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer
In this article, we review smFRET, a powerful technique for measuring distances and monitoring dynamics at the molecular scale. In this technique, the researcher monitors distances between two or more individual fluorescent labels by measuring how efficiently electronic energy is transferred between them, a phenomenon known as ▶ F€orster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Its power lies in its a...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Single-Nanoparticle Microscopy
Based on a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) we present measurements on the optical interaction of a single molecule and a single gold nanoparticle. The phenomena of field enhancement, emission quenching and fluorescence enhancement are studied with outstanding control over all key parameters. We have attached a single gold nanoparticle to the extremity of a pulled glass fiber tip a...
متن کاملCombining single-molecule manipulation and single-molecule detection.
Single molecule force manipulation combined with fluorescence techniques offers much promise in revealing mechanistic details of biomolecular machinery. Here, we review force-fluorescence microscopy, which combines the best features of manipulation and detection techniques. Three of the mainstay manipulation methods (optical traps, magnetic traps and atomic force microscopy) are discussed with ...
متن کاملSingle-molecule genomics.
The term 'single-molecule genomics' (SMG) describes a group of molecular methods in which single molecules are detected or sequenced. The focus on the analysis of individual molecules distinguishes these techniques from more traditional methods, in which template DNA is cloned or PCR-amplified prior to analysis. Although technically challenging, the analysis of single molecules has the potentia...
متن کاملSingle-molecule optomechanical cycle.
Light-powered molecular machines are conjectured to be essential constituents of future nanoscale devices. As a model for such systems, we have synthesized a polymer of bistable photosensitive azobenzenes. Individual polymers were investigated by single-molecule force spectroscopy in combination with optical excitation in total internal reflection. We were able to optically lengthen and contrac...
