title: Protein modification for single molecule fluorescence microscopy.
abstract: Single molecule methods have emerged as a powerful new tool for exploring biological phenomena. We provide a brief overview of the scope of current experiments and assess the limitations of both fluorescent labels and the means to achieve protein modification for single molecule microscopy.
