Single-molecule solvation-shell sensing.
We present a new route to single-molecule sensing via solvation shells surrounding a current-carrying backbone molecule. As an example, we show that the presence of a water solvation shell "gates" the conductance of a family of oligothiophene-containing molecular wires, and that the longer the oligothiophene, the larger is the effect. For the longest example studied, the molecular conductance i...
متن کاملSingle molecule sensing with carbon nanotube devices
Nanoscale electronic devices like field-effect transistors have long promised to provide sensitive, label-free detection of biomolecules. In particular, single-walled carbon nanotubes have the requisite sensitivity to detect single molecule events and sufficient bandwidth to directly monitor single molecule dynamics in real time. Recent measurements have demonstrated this premise by monitoring ...
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 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 کاملRational Design of Single-Molecule Magnets
Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are molecules that exhibit a magnetic bistability of pure molecular origin due to a slow relaxation of the magnetization. Thus, information can be stored in a single molecule with dimensions below 5 nm. The necessary prerequisites are a high spin ground state St along with a strong magnetic anisotropy of the easy-axes type which is described by a negative zero-fie...
