Inverse sensitivity of plasmonic nanosensors at the single-molecule limit
Recent work using plasmonic nanosensors in a clinically relevant detection assay reports extreme sensitivity based upon a mechanism termed inverse sensitivity, whereby reduction of substrate concentration increases reaction rate, even at the single-molecule limit. This near-homœopathic mechanism contradicts the law of mass action. The assay involves deposition of silver atoms upon gold nanostar...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Sensitivity in Optical Absorption at Room Temperature
Sensitive detection of condensed matter is of utmost importance in fundamental research as well as cutting-edge applications such as molecular analytics and diagnostics. Until very recently, all existingmethods for the detection of single molecules at room temperature have required highly efficient fluorophores. Here, we demonstrate, for the first time, that single molecules can also be detecte...
متن کاملComment on ”Scanning-probe Raman spectroscopy with single molecule sensitivity”
We reinterpret the scanning-probe Raman spectra shown in the above paper [C.C. Neacsu et al., Phys. Rev. B 73, 193406 (2006)] and compare it to a variety of single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman (SER) studies. The observed blinking behaviour and spectral features must be attributed to carbon contaminations rather than to Malachite Green (MG) single molecules, because, under the given experimen...
متن کاملQuantifying E. coli proteome and transcriptome with single-molecule sensitivity in single cells.
Protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) copy numbers vary from cell to cell in isogenic bacterial populations. However, these molecules often exist in low copy numbers and are difficult to detect in single cells. We carried out quantitative system-wide analyses of protein and mRNA expression in individual cells with single-molecule sensitivity using a newly constructed yellow fluorescent protein fusio...
متن کاملSingle-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...
