Section:Abstract
Single molecule fluorescent lifetime trajectories of surface immobilized double-stranded DNA coupled with a tetramethylrhodmaine and Cy5 FRET pair were directly measured using time-tagged single-photon counting and scanning confocal microscopy. A modified maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) was developed to compensate for localized background fluorescence and instrument response. With this algorithm, we were able to robustly extract fluorescent lifetimes from their respective decays with as few as 20 photons. Fluorescent lifetimes extracted using an MLE were found to be highly dependent on background fluorescence. We show that appropriate factors are required to extract true lifetime trajectories from single fluorophores.

Alvarez-PezThe Journal of Physical Chemistry A2011 115 (46), 13242-13250Ficoll has been widely used as a crowding agent to mimic intracellular media because it is believed to be noninteracting and is composed of mixed sizes such that smaller and larger diffusing solutes can be studied. Due to the interest that the fluorescent ...

Alvarez-PezLangmuir2011 27 (21), 12792-12799The size, diffusional properties, and dynamics of reverse water-in-oil nanoemulsions, or reverse micelles (RMs), have been widely investigated because of interest in this system as a model for biological compartmentalization. Here, we have employed ...

Xavier Casadevall i Solvas, Monpichar Srisa-Art, Andrew J. deMello and Joshua B. EdelAnalytical Chemistry2010 82 (9), 3950-3956Microdroplets generated in microfluidic channels hold great promise for use as substrates in high-throughput chemical and biological analysis. These water-in-oil compartments can serve as isolated reaction vessels, and since they can be generated at rates ...

Maria Sorokina, Hye-Ran Koh, Smita S. Patel and Taekjip HaJournal of the American Chemical Society2009 131 (28), 9630-9631Single molecule (SM) techniques are relatively new additions to the field of biophysics that allow one to manipulate individual molecules and study their behavior. To make these studies more relevant to what actually happens in the cell, one needs to move ...
