Single-Molecule Biology

Single-molecule biology is a field that studies individual molecules—like DNA, proteins, or enzymes—one at a time, instead of looking at large groups. This approach allows scientists to observe the detailed behavior and interactions of molecules with high precision, revealing how they function in real-time. By examining single molecules, researchers can uncover new insights into biological processes, understand variability among molecules, and develop more targeted therapies. This method has advanced our understanding of biology by providing a clear window into the fundamental working of life at the molecular level.
