SINGLE-MOLECULE REAL-TIME ANALYSIS OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

摘要

The present invention is generally directed to compositions, methods, and systems for performing single-molecule, real-time analysis of analytical reactions in which protein synthesis is occurring. The ability to analyze such reactions provides an opportunity to study those reactions as well as to potentially identify factors and/or approaches for impacting such reactions, e.g., to either enhance, inhibit, or otherwise affect such reactions including, but not limited to, affecting the reaction rate, processivity, fidelity, duration, and the like.
