DESCRIPTION
3.Individual Projects– Change in agenda 5 minute lecture! April 17 th and 19 th (# that can make it?) Intro: what is main subject. (How things are moved about a cell.) Detail subject: Molecular motors. Question; How myosin v moves: does it walk hand-over- hand or inchworm. Problem: Steps are tiny so needed new technique. Solution: Invented FIONA: capable of seeing 1 nm steps. Overall Solution: Moves by walking, i.e. “hand-over-hand. Today’s Announcements By Monday, 5pm, turn in (electronically) a rough draft of 5 minute lecture. Either a Word document laid out as above, or a Powerpoint.

1. How to label things so they fluoresce—ext. labels, GFP.2. Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF)- near
surface.3. Accuracy and Resolution—how fine can you see.4. Fluorescence. What is it (amplitude, time-scale)?
Today’s take-home lessons(i.e. what you should be able to answer at end of lecture)
Basics of fluorescenceShine light in, gets absorbed, reemits at longer wavelength

Photobleaching Important: Dye emits 105 107 photons, then dies!
Fluorophores & Quantum Yield

kn.r.krad
n.r.rad
k = krad + kn.r. ; = rad + n.r.
quantum yield = krad/(krad + kn.r)
Very good dyes have q.y. approaching one (kn.r ≈ 0)
Triplet State (?)(Long lifetime: )
Thermal relaxation
[O2] reaction
Non-Fluorescent state
Have ≥ 1 electron that is free to move. Excitation light moves e’s around, i.e. a dipole, and it can re-radiate, often with polarization.

Basic Set-up of Fluorescence Microscope

(Lasers, Arc Lamps)
(Electronic Detectors: CCD, EMCCDs, PMTs, APDs)
Nikon, Zeiss, Olympus, Leica—Microscope ManufacturerAndor, Hamamatsu, Princeton Instruments, other…make EMCCDs
Fluorescence vs. standard light Microscopy
Which is more sensitive?
Answer: Fluorescence…no background!
Basics of Labeling: In vitroBind to: free cysteines (R-SH) (often only one or a few in proteins)
: free lysines (R-NH2) (many per protein)
Cysteine Reactive Amine Reactive
MaleimideIsothiocyanate (ITC)
Succinymidal Ester
Iodoacetamide
Basics of Labeling In vivo (inside cell)Cell has a membrane, which is, in general, impermeant to dyes!
