Two-chamber AFM. We developed a setup that allows the combination of functional and structural analysis of membrane proteins in membranes (Supplementary Fig. 1 online).For this, we needed to make ...

Here, we introduce applications of AFM to molecular imaging of membrane proteins, and various approaches for observation and identification of intracellular microfilaments at the molecular level.

AFM has also been shown to be able to manipulate the properties of the membrane proteins as well. In terms of complete cell membranes, AFM can be used to look at their structures, ion channels, and ...

The suppression of membrane fouling is key for a successful application of pressure-driven membrane processes. Based on protein adsorption on a microfiltration membrane, we demonstrate the application ...

New research demonstrates that novel probe technology based on flexible membranes can replace conventional atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilevers for applications such as fast topographic ...

The applications of AFM in biology range from examining large tissues down to individual cells and biomolecules such as proteins. AFM has also been used to image other fundamental biological processes ...

Fast AFM Probes Measure Multiple Properties Of Biomolecules Or Materials Simultaneously Date: April 21, 2008 Source: Georgia Institute of Technology ...

The CBS includes a research group focused on single molecule physics. Dr Pierre-Emmanuel Milhiet runs a team which applies AFM and advanced fluorescence microscopies (single molecule tracking and ...

Using in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) to dissect these membrane-like materials and image their subsequent behavior, scientists at DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory showed that 2D ...

Toyohashi University of Technology has, in cooperation with Kanazawa University, discovered the aggregates of a hydrophilic-polymer-modified lipid in a lipid bilayer membrane. A contradict ...

Membranes with nanoscale pores have high potential in modern battery and energy conversion applications as well as water treatment. The characterisation of such samples regarding their pore structure ...
