제목: Applicaton of single-molecule fluorescence to dynamic biological processes

초록: Understanding a biological process requires visualizing interactions and motions of its individual components. Advance in single-molecule detection and development of new fluorescent probes has enabled us to study interesting biological phenomena at the single-molecule level. In this talk, I will show how we apply fluorescence techniques, especially, Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) to monitor nanoscale motions in/of biomolecules (RNA junction, hairpin ribozyme, and ribosome). I will also explain the biological importance of our new findings related to structure formation of an RNA junction, enzymatic kinetics of the hairpin ribozyme, and tRNA dynamics on the ribosome.
