Abstract
Single-molecule multiplexed detection is a high-promise toolkit for the expanding field ofbiosensing and molecular diagnostics. Among many single-molecule techniques available today for biomarker sensing including fluorescence, force, electrochemical, spectroscopic, barcoding, and other techniques, fluorescence-based approaches are arguably the most widely used methods due to their high sensitivity, selectivity, and readily available fluorophore-labeling schemes for a wide variety of biomolecules. However, multiplexed imaging using fluorescence techniques has proven to be challenging due to the sophisticated labeling schemes often requiring multiple FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) pairs and/or excitation sources, which lead to overlapping signals and complicate data analysis. Here, we describe a single-molecule FRET method that enables multiplexed analysis while still using only one FRET pair, and thus the described approach is a significant step forward from conventional FRET methods.
