Lecture

Taekjip Ha will talk about:

• Recent tool developments in single molecule nanometry where a position of a single fluorescent molecule can be determined with a single nanometer precision
• How these new tools provide fundamental insights on how molecular motors move on cellular highwayscombining optical tweezers that can apply and measure pico-Newton forces to single biological molecules with single molecule FRET
• Latest studies on complex processes that require coordination between multiple proteins, such as DNA replication, using multi-dimensional single molecule measurement techniques
