Single-molecule fluorescence has revealed a wealth of biochemical processes but does not give access to submillisecond dynamics involved in transient interactions and molecular dynamics. Here we overcome this bottleneck demonstrate record-high photon count rates >10
Multivalency as an interaction principle is widely utilized in nature. It enables specific and strong binding by multiple weak interactions through enhanced avidity a core process immune recognition cellular signaling, which also current concept drug design. Here, we use the high signals from plasmon-enhanced fluorescence of nanoparticles to extract kinetics dynamics multivalent on single-molecule level real time. We study mono-, bi-, trivalent using DNA Holliday Junction model construct...
