Abstract
Prof. Dr. Teakjip Ha is Professor of Physics, Head of Single Molecule Nanometry Group, University of Illinois; Investigator of Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Co-Director of the Center for the Physics of Living Cells (CPLC)
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
Series This talk is part of the Leica Scientific Forum series.
