註釋

Molecular fluorescence provides scientists with a wealth of information on how biological systems function at the molecular level. Through fluorescence, individual biological molecules can be tracked as they interact with other proteins, DNA, ligands, etc. and change their conformation in response to the interaction. Molecular motors such as myosin provide an ideal system for fluorescence. The multitude of currently available fluorescent techniques allow for the study of each important step required for myosin to generate directed motion along an actin filament. Several fluorescent techniques such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), Lanthanide based resonance energy transfer (LRET), fluorescence imaging with one nanometer accuracy (FIONA), and defocused orientation and position imaging (DOPI) are all applied to specifically myosin II and myosin VI in the text below.
