  • Statistical analysis of on and off times from fluorescence data.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Investigation of intramolecular fluctuations and their memory effects.

    • Main Results:

    • Both correlation function analysis and on/off time statistics successfully yield kinetic information.
    • Single-molecule kinetics exhibit stochastic memory effects due to intramolecular fluctuations.
    • These effects introduce dynamic features absent in conventional chemical kinetics, including novel chemical oscillations.

    Conclusions:

    • Two viable approaches exist for deriving kinetic parameters from single-molecule fluorescence measurements.
    • Intramolecular fluctuations introduce stochastic memory, leading to unique dynamic behaviors in single molecules.
    • The findings provide a deeper understanding of molecular dynamics and chemical oscillations at the single-molecule level.
