Insight into the dynamic behavior of chemical processes is typically derived from ensemble measurements. Direct experimental information about the dynamics at the singlemolecular level, however, is sparse and has until recently been primarily deduced from molecular-dynamics simulations. Current advances in single-molecule spectroscopy have paved the way for exploring the behavior of individual molecules in the course of a chemical reaction. Thus far it has proven possible to monitor in real time the dynamic behavior of single-biomolecular processes and observe the enzymatic turnovers of a few motor proteins,[1–5] an oxidase,[6] horseradish peroxidase,[7] and a nuclease.[8] More recently, structural fluctuations of a single flavin reductase [9] and of T4 lysozyme during the course of a reaction [10] have been detected. These few examples clearly demonstrate the tremendous potential of studying an enzymatic process at the single-molecular level.
