What Are the Applications of Single Molecule Detection?
SMD has a wide range of applications across various fields:
Protein dynamics: Understanding the folding, binding, and conformational changes of proteins at the single-molecule level. Gene expression: Monitoring the transcription and translation processes of individual genes. Drug screening: Evaluating the interaction of potential drug molecules with their targets. Nanomaterials: Investigating the properties and behavior of nanoscale materials. Medical diagnostics: Detecting biomarkers and pathogens with high sensitivity and specificity.
