What is single molecule biophysics? Why we conduct single molecule or what single molecule can tell us? How to study the single molecules?
single molecules in diverse environments such as liquids, solids, membranes, surfaces, and polymers Single Molecules provides a broad overview of current methods and techniques, recent applications and shortcomings of present techniques in the field. It covers all aspects of single molecule investigations in chemistry, physics, and life sciences: • single atoms and nanoparticles • all kinds of ultrasensitive detection techniques such as spectroscopies and microscopies • methods of manipulating and modifying single particles
What is single molecule biophysics? 在单分子水平上对生物分子行为(包括构象变化、相互作用、相互识别等)的实时﹑动态检测以及在此基础上的操纵﹑调控等,是分子生物物理学的自然延伸和必然趋势。生物单分子研究已成为21世纪生命科学领域的一个重点研究方向,在生命科学领域有着广泛的应用前景
Why we conduct single molecule or what single molecule can tell us? In contrast with ensemble methods, single molecule experiments provide information on distributions and time trajectories of observables that would otherwise be hidden
single molecule methods Sensitive or ultrasensitive sensitivity
Genesis of noise? The photons detected from single molecules must exceed the background noise that originates from Raman and Rayleighscattering and from fluorescence as a result of impurities in the solvent, glass coverslips, and optical components, and from dark current in the detector.
How to increase S/N? a small excitationvolume, to reduce the background high-efficiency collection optics detectors with high quantum efficiency and low dark noise careful elimination of background fluorescence: solvent, optics, detection method et al.
