| Abstract | The formation of protein complexes with other proteins and nucleic acids is critical to biological function. Although it is relatively easy to identify the components present in these complexes, it is often difficult to determine their exact stoichiometry and obtain information about the homogeneity of the sample from bulk measurements. We demonstrate the use of single molecule photon-pair correlation spectroscopy to distinguish between discrete numbers of molecules in biological complexes. Fluorescence photon antibunching is observed from a single molecule by employing time-correlated single photon counting in combination with a Hanbury-Brown and Twiss coincidence setup. In addition, pulsed laser excitation and time-tagged time-resolved data collection allow for the measurement of photon arrival times with nanosecond time resolution. The interphoton time distribution between consecutively arriving photons can be calculated and provides a measure of the second-order temporal correlation function. Analysis of this function yields an absolute measure of the number of molecules, N, present in a given complex. It is this ability to measure N that renders this technique powerful for determining stoichiometries in complex biological systems at the single molecule level. We investigate the counting efficiency and statistics of photon antibunching of specifically designed biological samples labeled with multiple copies of the same fluorescent dye and derive conclusions about its use in the analytical evaluation of complex biological samples. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
