Single-Molecule Biophysics

Optical and magnetic tweezers, smFRET, and tracking of individual biomolecules.


field tier

Single-Molecule Biophysics addresses optical and magnetic tweezers, smfret, and tracking of individual biomolecules. As a subfield of structural biology, it sits within the broader biology branch of the Charted science tree and connects upward to the methodological themes of its parent area.

A more detailed frontier sourcing pass for this topic is deferred to a follow-up OpenAlex wave; the current sources include Phillips, Physical Biology of the Cell, each kept as a placeholder anchor for the next iteration. See the parent topic (biology/structural-biology) for the wider context this page will eventually slot into.
