Lengthening smFRET lifetimes: We investigated various photoprotection system combinations to find the combination that optimally extended the photobleach lifetime of a Cy3/Cy5 smFRET pair attached to a DNA hairpin in a single-molecule environment. We found that the glucose/glucose oxygen-scavenging solution in combination with redox-based photostabilization solutions yielded the longest average photobleaching lifetimes.
