.... This co-operative clustering of fusogens in viral envelopes is similar to receptor clustering in cellular systems, where receptors aggregate to initiate signalling cascades. Single-molecule localisation microscopy (SMLM) approaches have emerged as powerful tools to study these intricate mechanisms...

... as a ‘needle in the haystack’ challenge. The TF search process is now well understood in bacteria, but its characterization in eukaryotes needs to account for the complex organization of the nuclear environment. Here we review how live-cell single molecule tracking is starting to shed light on the TF search...

...Jacob S. Lewis; Alessandro Costa This review discusses recent advances in single-particle cryo-EM and single-molecule approaches used to visualise eukaryotic DNA replication reactions reconstituted in vitro . We comment on the new challenges facing structural biologists, as they turn to describing...

...Flynn R. Hill; Enrico Monachino; Antoine M. van Oijen The single-molecule approach seeks to understand molecular mechanisms by observing biomolecular processes at the level of individual molecules. These methods have led to a developing understanding that for many processes, a diversity...

... of these proteins in industrial applications. We provide a review of recent developments which have utilized single molecule force spectroscopy to mechanically manipulate proteins from extremophilic organisms and the information which has been gained about their stability, flexibility and underlying energy...

...Liming Ying At present, technical hurdles remain in probing biochemical processes in living cells and organisms at nanometre spatial resolution, millisecond time resolution and with high specificity and single-molecule sensitivity. Owing to its unique shape, size and electrical properties...

... and conformational information about molecules in their cellular context. By recording the spatial trajectories of pairs of interacting molecules, formation of larger molecular complexes can be studied. In the future, multicolour and multiparameter imaging of single molecules in live cells will be a powerful...

...H. Li; L. Ying; X. Ren; S. Balasubramanian; D. Klenerman Single-molecule fluorescence has the capability to detect properties buried in ensemble measurements and, hence, provides new insights about biological processes. Ratiometric methods are normally used to reduce the effects of excitation beam...
