One method for visualizing dynamic biological processes is single particle tracking, a localization microscopy method. For this technique to be successful, several factors need to be considered, ...

Tunable red to green emissions in upconversion nanoparticles allow precise identification of single particles, enabling accurate, long-term multicolor tracking in complex live cell environments.

The investigation of molecular motion within thin films has undergone significant advancement with the advent of single-molecule tracking (SMT) techniques. These methods enable researchers to trace ...

Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...

NTA mainly uses the principle of scattering of light by a particle to locate it in real-time. The particle movements are tracked, and the size is measured using a high-speed video recording. 2 A laser ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...
