Title:
"Probing dynamic structures and molecular interactions at ultrahigh resolution in-vitro and in live cells using single molecules and single quantum dots"

Abstract:
We will review progress in single molecule analysis of: (1) transcription by the enzyme RNA polymerase (2) protein folding and (3) lipid raft (GPI-anchored) receptors in the membrane of live cells.
