Zooming into Life: Biological Applications of MINFLUX
Samrat Basak, LMU, Munich
Life’s essential processes occour at the nanometer scale, where small molecular movements can have profound biological consequences. MINFLUX microscopy has rapidly progressed from a technical breakthrough to a practical tool, enabling direct observation of these processes with utmost precision. Its ability to combine nanometer-scale localization with high temporal resolution has opened a growing range of applications, including high-precision structural mapping, dynamic tracking of single molecules, and volumetric imaging of complex assemblies. In this talk, we will focus on how these advances are being translated into biological research—resolving the nanoscale organization of protein complexes, following the stepping dynamics of molecular motors, and probing the architecture of cellular structures. Together, these studies illustrate how MINFLUX is reshaping our understanding of biology at the molecular scale and point toward exciting directions for future discoveries.
