MINSTED tracking of single biomolecules

DOI

We show that MINSTED localization, a method whereby the position of a fluorophore is identified with precisely controlled beams of a STED microscope, tracks fluorophores and hence labeled biomolecules with nanometer/millisecond spatio-temporal precision. By updating the position for each detected photon, MINSTED recognizes fluorophore steps of 16 nm within < 250 microseconds using about 13 photons. The power of MINSTED tracking is demonstrated by quantifying side-steps of the motor protein kinesin-1 walking on microtubules and switching protofilaments.
