Genes can be switched on and off through the binding of proteins called transcription factors to specific regions of DNA . Here I will outline cutting-edge experiments and analyses using bespoke single-molecule fluorescence microscopy and theoretical biophysics approaches which enable us to monitor this process in individual living cells in their unique physical and chemical environment with molecular scale precision over a time scale faster than that set by the mobility of transcription factors themselves – in ‘real time’.
