Native and fluorescent dye-dependent single-DNA molecule microchip dynamics as measured by differential interference contrast microscopy.

چکیده
In a free solution of 10.0 mM Gly-Gly (pH 8.2), the flow directions of native-DNA and DNA molecules intercalated with the fluorescent dye YOYO-1 were reversed in the microchip channel. These results clearly showed that in a confined space and under specific environmental conditions, the fluorescent dye modified the original properties and behavior of the native-DNA molecule.

Direct observation of single flexible polymers using single stranded DNA().
Over the last 15 years, double stranded DNA (dsDNA) has been used as a model polymeric system for nearly all single polymer dynamics studies. However, dsDNA is a semiflexible polymer with markedly different molecular properties compared to flexible chains, including synthetic organic polymers. In this work, we report a new system for single polymer studies of flexible chains based on single str...
متن کاملHeterogeneous staining: a tool for studies of how fluorescent dyes affect the physical properties of DNA
The commonly used fluorescent dye YOYO-1 (YOYO) has, using bulk techniques, been demonstrated to stain DNA heterogeneously at substoichiometric concentrations. We here, using nanofluidic channels and fluorescence microscopy, investigate the heterogeneous staining on the single DNA molecule level and demonstrate that the dye distribution is continuous. The equilibration of YOYO on DNA is extreme...
متن کامل1 A Road Map to Single Molecule Dynamics
Signals from single fluorescent dye molecules were first measured in non-biological environments. Some of the earliest studies acquired signals from singlefluorescence dyes embedded in a solid matrix at the temperature of liquid helium [1] and from excitation fluorescence signals [2]. In early studies carried out at room temperature, single fluorescence dye molecules spread over a film were obs...
متن کاملFluorescently Labeled Gold Nanoparticles with Minimal Fluorescence Quenching
Minimal quenching of fluorescence emission was observed when the fluorescent dye AlexaFluor 514 (AF514) was covalently bound to gold monolayer protected clusters (AuMPCs) that have negligible plasmon bands (diameters <2 nm). The fluorescence emission of the conjugated dye was measured as a function of dye-AuMPC mixing ratio with a combination of steady-state and time-resolved ensemble spectrosc...
متن کاملSingle-molecule fluorescence microscopy review: shedding new light on old problems
Fluorescence microscopy is an invaluable tool in the biosciences, a genuine workhorse technique offering exceptional contrast in conjunction with high specificity of labelling with relatively minimal perturbation to biological samples compared with many competing biophysical techniques. Improvements in detector and dye technologies coupled to advances in image analysis methods have fuelled rece...
