Our project focuses on analyzing how proteins assemble on membranes using Atomic Force Microscopy. With high-resolution, fast-scan Atomic Force Microscopy, we will directly visualize the structure and ...

Without the need for a current, such an "atomic force microscope" (AFM) could reveal the structure of nonconductive materials such as proteins, organelles, and whole cells. Immediately thereafter, the ...

Within a decade, this unconventional microscope has evolved ... the molecular interactions driving the structure and function relationship of these proteins and that the future will bring insights ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials. It works by “feeling” or “touching” the surface with an extremely small probe. This provides a ...

Why is knowing the atomic structure ... as small proteins or oligonucleotides, since the experimental measurements are difficult or impossible to make for larger molecules. Electron microscopy ...

You could infer things about them using X-ray crystallography or measure their pull on tiny probes using atomic force ... cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule ...

For example, atomic force microscopy is used to visualize the components of a catalyst layer so that the structure and composition can be improved. In addition, the morphology of catalyst particles is ...

providing valuable insights into the structure-property relationships of nanomaterials and nanodevices. Example of a conductive atomic force microscopy measurement. Left: 3D topography of platinum ...

The integration of AFAM with other complementary techniques, such as Raman spectroscopy and scanning thermal microscopy, will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the structure-property ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), they captured ... In most cells, DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones, allowing it to be loosely packed and accessible for gene activity.
