SnapShot: Single-Molecule Fluorescence
Common uorescent agents include organic uorophores (e.g., Cy5), uorescent proteins (e.g., GFP), and semiconductor quantum dots each with different size, photobleaching, blinking, and labeling ef ciency properties. Wideeld detection with EMCCD camera enables parallel measurements. The temporal resolution is >ms, and the working concentration is limited to nM or less. Confocal detection from an e...
متن کاملAn electric field induced reversible single-molecule fluorescence switch.
We report that by applying an electric field to a single squaraine-derived rotaxane (SR) molecule on bare glass, the fluorescence can be completely quenched. The molecule undergoes a reversible fluorescence switch between a zero-field "on" state and a high-field "off" state, which is attributed to intramolecular electron transfer within the SR molecule.
متن کاملExploring 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 Imaging With One Color Fluorescence.
Single-molecule fluorescence imaging is a powerful tool that enables real-time observation of DNA-protein or RNA-protein interactions with a nanometer precision. Here, we provide a detailed procedure for a previously developed single-molecule fluorescence method, termed "single-molecule protein-induced fluorescence enhancement" (smPIFE). While smFRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) requires...
متن کاملSingle-molecule detection with a two-photon fluorescence microscope with fast-scanning capabilities and polarization sensitivity.
We describe a laser-scanning two-photon fluorescence microscope that is capable of observing single molecules with excellent temporal resolution and three-dimensional spatial resolution. To demonstrate the capabilities of the instrument we present single-molecule fluorescence data obtained in several different scanning modes. In addition, a polarization-sensitive detection scheme can provide de...
