1. Single molecule dynamics
Abstract : Properties found in an ensemble of molecules may not be understood if it is not possible to study each molecule one by one. This thesis is concerned with the study of the dynamic properties of individual complex biological molecules as observed by confocal single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy. READ MORE

2. Single-molecule spectroscopy of π-conjugated polymers
Abstract : When applied to condensed-matter samples of large organic molecules, optical spectroscopy faces the problem of inhomogeneous broadening caused by the diversity of environments and conformations that sample molecules are subjected to. This severely limits the information that can be extracted from optical spectra. READ MORE

3. Overstretching short DNA – Single-molecule force spectroscopy studies
Abstract : Structural deformation of DNA has a central role in many biological processes. It occurs, for example, during replication, transcription, and regulation of the activity of the genome. To understand these fundamental processes it is necessary to have a detailed knowledge of the mechanical properties of DNA. READ MORE

4. Polarization portraits of lightharvesting antennas: from single molecule spectroscopy to imaging
Abstract : Multichromophoric systems are very important in photosynthesis and any device that uses solar energy for its operation. This is because multichromophoric light-harvesting antennas are responsible for the absorption of light and the efficient transfer of the absorbed energy toward distinct places where it is to be used or stored.

5. Förster Resonance Energy Transfer - from single molecule spectroscopy to imaging
Abstract : During the last fifteen years several methods have been developed for probing biomolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins) one at a time. Among these methods fluorescence spectroscopy and in particular its many implementations for monitoring Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), have attracted much interest. READ MORE
