This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significance of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy beyond the diffraction barrier was recognized by the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014. At room temperature, these techniques typically achieve a resolution on the order of twenty nanometers. They already allowed for resolving subcellular structures and organelles, and are starting to enable discoveries in neuroscience, molecular biology and other life sciences. One can dream about increasing the optical resolution by another two orders of magnitude in order to directly resolve sub-molecular structures such as constituents of molecular complexes or even protein structure itself. The aim of the present work is to accomplish exactly that. In this PhD thesis, a novel microscopy technique is presented that exploits cryogenic measurements to push optical resolution to the Angstrom level. The near atomic resolution is made possible by the substantial improvement of the molecular photostability at liquid helium temperature. This method allows one to gain structural information of proteins or other molecular complexes that might not be accessible by existing analytical methods such as X-ray crystallography, cryogenic electron microscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These results mark record optical resolution and demonstrate that optical resolution can be pushed beyond the diffraction limit by nearly one thousand times.

Download or read book Cryogenic Single molecule Active Control Microscopy with Fluorescent Proteins written by Annina Manuela Sartor and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superresolution microscopy is a powerful optical technique for studying molecules and structures within biological cells at size scales below the optical diffraction limit of ~200-300 nm. Performing superresolution imaging on samples maintained at cryogenic temperatures provides several advantages: reduced photobleaching resulting in improved localization precisions, the use of plunge-freezing as a chemical-free fixation technique, and the potential of correlative imaging with cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET). However, single-molecule superresolution methods such as PALM and STORM are difficult to implement in frozen samples due to the limited availability of fluorophores with access to efficient active control mechanisms at low temperatures. The work presented in this dissertation establishes a workflow for cryogenic fluorescence imaging compatible with subsequent cryoET and details our search for control over the emissive states of two fluorescent proteins, PAmKate and mApple, under cryogenic conditions.
