Single Molecules and Nanotechnology This book focuses on recent advances in the rapidly evolving field of single molecule research. These advances are of importance for the investigation of biopolymers and cellular biochemical reactions and are essential to the development of quantitative biology. Written by leading experts in the field the articles cover a broad range of topics including: quantum photonics of organic dyes and inorganic nanoparticles their use in detecting properties of single molecules the monitoring of single molecule (enzymatic) reactions single protein (un)folding in nanometer sized confined volumes t This book focuses on recent advances in the rapidly evolving field of single molecule research.
