Recent technological advances have allowed the motion of individual biological molecules to be observed in real time - an ability that is leading to a highly mechanistic view of biology.  In this talk I will describe studies using florescence resonance energy transfer to reveal the dynamical motion of biological proteins from several pathways including neurotransmitter release and DNA repair.
