Single-Molecule Fluorescence Studies of ReAsH and Myosin VI
… imaging with one nanometer accuracy (FIONA) was shown to localize the position of a fluorescent molecule within a nanometer. Using FIONA, we examined photophysical properties of ReAsH - a novel fluorescent molecule. We showed that ReAsH is more photostable and brighter than eGFP, …

Lighting Up Life: Fluorescence Studies of the Shaker Potassium Ion Channel and Myosin v in Action
… they developed a new technique which they called FIONA for Fluorescence Imaging with One Nanometer Accuracy which allowed them to localize individual molecules of myosin V to within 1.5 nut on the surface of a microscope cover slip. I have extended and applied FIONA to a mutant of myosin V with a …

Studying Processive Molecular Motors Inside Live Cells
… Imaging with One Nanometer Accuracy (FIONA). Yildiz et al. has shown that FIONA is precise enough to resolve the hand-over-hand steps of the processive molecular motors myosin V, kinesin and myosin VI, in the order. In our study we have searched for the possibilities of working on the …

A biochemical and molecular analysis of functional differences between dystrophin and utrophin
… of utrophin on the mdx mouse background (Fiona-mdx) is not sufficient to rescue the disorganized microtubule network of the mdx mouse. Thus, we have elucidated a second functional difference between dystrophin and utrophin. Additionally, Fiona-mdx mice lack full recovery of cage activity …

Noise in noise out - single molecule studies of molecular motors
… the system, we develop a parameter, called the FIONA Index, which serves as a guide for data quality based on noise per step-size (NPS) and frames per step (FPS). Attempting to bring the noise out of the system, we develop Magnetic Cytoskeleton Affinity (MiCA) purification to remove excess dyes …

Studies of myosin mechanics using fluorescence
… imaging with one nanometer accuracy (FIONA), and defocused orientation and position imaging (DOPI) are all applied to specifically myosin II and myosin VI in the text below. FRET or a modified version known as LRET, allow for the measurement of angstrom level changes in the position …
