Single-molecule spectroscopy is increasingly used to probe the dynamics of individual molecules,[1] and spectroscopic techniques that are sensitive to the motion of single molecules are important for detection of these processes. Several singlemolecule methods are capable of tracking molecular motions in real time. Fluorescence-intensity trajectories of single molecules can be analyzed to characterize underlying dynamics.[2] Fluorescence resonance energy transfer, which monitors distance changes between two fluorophores,[3±5] can track molecular motions between two dye-labeled sites on a protein. Polarization methods make use of fluorescence polarization to track the orientation of single molecules.[5±9] Polarization methods have been used previously to study reorientational dynamics of fluorescent dyes attached to DNA strands bound to a glass surface.[10±12] These surface studies were sensitive enough to reveal a five-degree offset in the absorption and emission dipoles of the dye Cy5.Herein, we use a linearly polarized laser of which the orientation of the polarization is continuously varying to excite a dye molecule or an extrinsic fluorophore bound to a protein. The extent to which the fluorescence signal is modulated by the polarization of the excitation beam is a measure of the mobility of the fluorophore on the timescale of the polarization modulation. A fluorophore with fixed orientation experiences maximum excitation when the orientation of the polarization aligns with the transition dipole of the dye and minimum excitation when the polarization is orthogonal to the transition dipole of the dye molecule. Fast reorientation of the transition dipole randomizes the absorption probability, thus eliminating the modulation which is experienced by stationary fluorophores. Tracking the orientational mobility of a fluorophore is thus an effective means of following single-molecule dynamics in realtime.
