Abstract |
Single-molecule fluorescence studies of nucleic acids are revolutionizing our understanding of fundamental cellular processes related to DNA and RNA processing mechanisms. Detailed molecular insights into DNA repair, replication, transcription, and RNA folding and function are continuously being uncovered by using the full repertoire of single-molecule fluorescence techniques. The fundamental reason behind the stunning growth in the application of single-molecule techniques to study nucleic acid structure and dynamics is the unmatched ability of single-molecule fluorescence, and mostly single-molecule FRET, to resolve heterogeneous static and dynamic populations and identify transient and low-populated states without the need for sample synchronization. New advances in DNA and RNA synthesis, post-synthetic dye-labeling methods, immobilization and passivation strategies, improved dye photophysics, and standardized analysis methods have enabled the implementation of single-molecule techniques beyond specialized laboratories. In this chapter, we introduce the practical aspects of applying single-molecule techniques to investigate nucleic acid structure, dynamics, and function. |
