Single-Molecule Techniques: A Laboratory Manual

by Paul R Selvin

Summary

As molecular and cellular biologists move toward nanoDStechniques for performing experiments on single molecules rather than on populations of molecules, a comprehensive manual on how (and why) to carry out such experiments is needed. Single-Molecule A Laboratory Manual fills this
requirement―it is the first to take researchers who know nothing about singleDSmolecule analyses to the point where they can successfully design and execute appropriate experiments. Geared toward research scientists in structural and molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics, the manual will be
useful to all who are interested in observing, manipulating, and elucidating the molecular mechanisms and discrete properties of macromolecules. Techniques range from in vivo and in vitro fluorescentDSbased methods to the use of atomic force microscopy, optical and magnetic tweezers, and nanopores.
The book is edited by Paul R. Selvin and Taekjip Ha, two pioneers in the field of experimental biophysics who have made significant contributions to the development and application of singleDSmolecule technologies
