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 ...
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 ...
For the first time ever, researchers from Japan directly visualized protein translocation across membranes using high-speed ...
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 ...
Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Biophysics and Physicobiology how to optimize high-speed atomic force microscopy experiments on live cell membranes, so that moving objects like ...
In experiments with patches of cell membrane from single-cell organisms,* the group has demonstrated that they can locate these protein complexes and align the AFM tip with a precision of about 40 ...
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 ...
The Group applies the JPK ULTRA Speed AFM to study biological membrane structures and protein dynamics. AFM has been used to investigate the supramolecular architecture of photosynthetic membranes ...
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 ...
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 ...
