Abstract: In the tethered particle motion method the length of a DNA molecule is monitored by measuring the range of diffusion of a microsphere tethered to the surface of a microscope coverslip through the DNA molecule itself. Looping of DNA (induced by binding of a specific protein) can be detected with this method and the kinetics of the looping/unlooping processes can be measured at the single molecule level. The microsphere
