Abstract
  
Recent developments in single-molecule spectroscopy and imaging help to illustrate
how each molecule works as a component of the network in real time. I will describe
two different biological systems using these techniques,: the dynamics of the bacterial
actin  homologue,  MreB  protein  in  living  Caulobacter  crescentus  cell,  and  the
conformational  changes  of  the  chaperonin  GroEL  and  its  substrate,  the  von
Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein, VHL. Lastly, I will briefly introduce current
efforts to observe how mechanical properties, such as stiffness of an extracellular
matrix (ECM) and  shear  flow,  affect  the  dynamics  of  membrane  type  1matrix
metalloproteinase, MT1-MMP in the eukaryotic endothelial cell.
