Single-molecule visualization in cell biology.
Recent progress in single-molecule detection techniques has allowed us to visualize the dynamic behaviour and reaction kinetics of individual biological molecules inside living cells. Single-molecule visualization provides a direct way to quantify, with a high spatial and temporal resolution, biological events inside cells at the single-molecule level. In this article, we discuss how single-molecule visualization can be used in cell biology.
