Ultrasensitive Detection of Attomolar Protein Concentrations by Dropcast Single Molecule Assays. [PDF]
Measurements of very low levels of biomolecules, including proteins and nucleic acids, remain a critical challenge in many clinical diagnostic applications due to insufficient sensitivity. While digital measurement methods such as Single Molecule Arrays (Simoa), or digital ELISA, have made significant advances in sensitivity, there are still many ...

Influence of fluorescent tag on the motility properties of kinesin-1 in single-molecule assays. [PDF]
Molecular motors such as kinesin and dynein use the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to walk processively along microtubule tracks and transport various cargoes inside the cell.

Advances in Optical Single‐Molecule Detection: En Route to Supersensitive Bioaffinity Assays
The ability to detect low concentrations of analytes and in particular low-abundance biomarkers is of fundamental importance, e.g., for early-stage disease diagnosis.

How Nanoparticles Transform Single Molecule Measurements into Quantitative Sensors
Single molecule measurements are revolutionizing the understanding of the stochastics of behavior of single molecules. There is a common theme referred to as a near-field approach, in how many single molecule measurements are being performed in assays ...

Protocol for generation and regeneration of PEG-passivated slides for single-molecule measurements
Summary: Single-molecule fluorescence detection by total internal reflection microscope requires surface passivation by polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating, which is labor intensive and is only good for one or two experiments. Here, we present an efficient

Generation of versatile ss-dsDNA hybrid substrates for single-molecule analysis
Summary: Here, we describe a rapid and versatile protocol to generate gapped DNA substrates for single-molecule (SM) analysis using optical tweezers via site-specific Cas9 nicking and force-induced melting. We provide examples of single-stranded (ss) DNA
