Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With increasing sensitivity of optical detection systems single molecule measurements have gained considerable importance. Single molecules and ultra-weak fluorescence signals are now measured reliably in liquids, solids and biological systems upon selective excitation of thin layers by confocal, optical near field or evanescent wave excitation. Ultra-sensitive video detection, photon counting or correlation techniques are used to measure stationary or dynamic molecular events, whereas Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is used to probe intermolecular interactions. Contributions to this special issue may be dedicated to these or related techniques, including applications to fluorescent dyes, nano-beads, fluorescent proteins or further biomolecules with a diagnostic or analytical potential.

Submission
All papers should be submitted to ijms@mdpi.com. To be published continuously until the deadline and papers will be listed together at the special issue website.
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors is available on the Instructions for Authors page. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed monthly journal published by MDPI.
Open Access publication fees are 800 CHF per paper. English correction fees and/or formatting fees (250 CHF) will be added in certain cases (1050 CHF per paper for those papers that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections).
