Explain/Teach these Concepts to a Friend

How does homologous recombination in yeast work and how can it be used for protein engineering (as in making new dynein proteins described in this lecture)?

What is a Q (quantum) dot and how does it differ from an organic fluorophore?

What is the resolution limit of conventional light microscopy?  How do you track the movement of a fluorescent motor with a few nanometer resolution?

How does an optical trap work?  Why can it capture a bead but not a single protein?
