Gordon Conference

The 2008 Gordon conference on Single Molecule Approaches to Biology took place last week, and we got a full rundown from Steve on the proceedings. All of the big names came and talked up a storm, including an entire session on super-resolution imaging (one of my hobby horses), featuring Xiaowei Zhuang and Stefan Hell, among others. TJ Ha chaired a session on transcription and translation, and has apparently started looking at T7 RNA polymerase, and is able to see something akin to scrunching using smFRET.
