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 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 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 کاملPlasmonic band structure controls single-molecule fluorescence.
Plasmonics and photonic crystals are two complementary approaches to tailor single-emitter fluorescence, using strong local field enhancements near metals on one hand and spatially extended photonic band structure effects on the other hand. Here, we explore the emergence of spontaneous emission control by finite-sized hexagonal arrays of nanoapertures milled in gold film. We demonstrate that al...
