What Technologies Enable Single Molecule Resolution?
Several advanced technologies have been developed to achieve single molecule resolution, including: - Single-Molecule Fluorescence Microscopy: This technique uses fluorescent tags to visualize individual molecules in live cells. - Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): AFM can provide high-resolution images of molecules and their interactions with surfaces. - Single-Molecule Sequencing: Techniques like next-generation sequencing can analyze genetic material at the single molecule level. - Optical Tweezers: This method uses laser beams to manipulate and study individual molecules.
