Ooh, shiny.
Nature Methods have a special issue on Single Molecule Analysis. Strikingly, all articles in this issue are free (Yay! Free beer!) until the end of this month.
Don’t FRET, there’s enough to go around.

The Scientist by Richard Grant
Raising being quoted out of context to an art form: 'awesome, but not always right'. Drinks well with scientists.

FRET. That’s punny. :)
A lab down the hall from mine developed a brilliant single particle fusion assay for influenza. They can visualize a single vision penetrating an artificial bilayer. It makes the geek inside me jump for joy. They also do some polymerase studies, looking at single molecule kinetics of DNA replication. That, however, is too dorky even for me.
Thanks for the link. I will have to see if any of the articles make me feel geeky/good!
I wish I had penetrating vision like that – but I’m guessing you meant virion…;-)
Would that be Sunney Xie’s lab? He’s giving a talk at Imperial next week – would it be worth a look?
D’oh. Yes. Virion. I am always doing that!
I was actually talking about Antoine van Oijen’s lab. I hope he makes it your way at some point – he is a wonderful speaker. Afraid I am not familiar with the Xie lab – different campus from me.
Funny coincidence, I was mentioning these articles to Mr Darwin only the other day in response to his plea for more coverage of the sub-microscopic.
I do think they are jolly good articles – or at least, the ones that relate to my old field, which I can follow the best.
