Imaging chromatin nanostructure with binding-activated localization microscopy based on DNA structure fluctuations
Advanced light microscopy is an important tool for nanostructure analysis of chromatin. In this report we present a general concept for Single Molecule localization Microscopy (SMLM) super-resolved imaging of DNA-binding dyes based on modifying the properties of DNA and the dye. By careful adjustment of the chemical environment leading to local, reversible DNA melting and hybridization control ...
متن کاملBiological Sciences: Live Cell Partial Wave Spectroscopic Microscopy: Label-free Imaging of the Native, Living Cellular Nano-architecture Authors:
The organization of chromatin is a regulator of molecular processes including transcription, replication, and DNA repair. The structures within chromatin that regulate these processes span from the nucleosomal (10nm) to the chromosomal (>200nm) levels, with little known about the dynamics of chromatin structure between these scales due to a lack of quantitative imaging technique in live cells. ...
متن کاملDeveloping a new biophysical tool to combine magneto-optical tweezers with super-resolution fluorescence microscopy
We present a novel experimental setup in which magnetic and optical tweezers are combined for torque and force transduction onto single filamentous molecules in a transverse configuration to allow simultaneous mechanical measurement and manipulation. Previously we have developed a super-resolution imaging module which in conjunction with advanced imaging techniques such as Blinking assisted Loc...

متن کاملSAXS Research at NSRRC
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), a scattering tool of atomic spatial resolution and high penetration power, provides a non-destructive scattering tool in structural characterization for surfaces, interfaces, as well as bulks, and is an decent complimentary technique to the direct imaging tools such as the SEM, TEM, and AFM in nanostructure research. Capable in probing structural information...
