The photon count trajectory and its analysis. (
A) A photon count trajectory as a function of time (Δ
t = 1 ms) of a single lipase B from
Candida antarctica during catalysis. (
B and
C) Zooming into segments of the trajectory in
A. A local threshold value is shown in
C. (
D) A ln-linear histogram of
P(a) (black curve). The arrow indicates the threshold value,
a*. Also shown are the fitting functions for the two parts of
P(a) (red curves). (
E) The floating threshold

as a function of time measured in bins of 1
s (
J = 1s). (
F and
G) 〈
aj〉
off ± σ
j, the black sign corresponds to 〈
aj〉
off, and the blue sign corresponds to ±σ
j, as a function of
t with
J = 1 s (
F), and the corresponding Δ
j (
G). In all figures, [
S] = 1.4 μM.
