  Abstract

In single-molecule fluorescence experiment, the oxygen scavenging system is indispensable for avoiding photo-bleaching of fluorescent dyes. Here we report that the gloxy-based oxygen scavenging system commonly used in single molecule fluorescence experiments can disturb the solution pH considerably. To track in situ pH change, we utilized the pH-sensitive conformational transition of i-motif and examined the transition with ensemble and single-molecule FRET measurements. Based on our results, we also suggested several practical remedies for the stability of the solution pH.
