Which of these is a focus of Moerner's work?
Galactic mapping
Single-molecule biophysics
Geological surveying
Robotics
Answer
Single-molecule biophysics, as pioneered by Moerner, involves the study of biological processes at the level of individual molecules. This approach provides unprecedented insights into the dynamics and mechanisms of molecular interactions, enzyme catalysis, protein folding, and cellular processes. By manipulating and observing single molecules, scientists can uncover fundamental principles underlying biological function and gain a deeper understanding of complex biological systems.
