A novel atomic force microscopy (AFM) setup allows researchers to image and manipulate unsupported membrane proteins separating two aqueous compartments. This promises to permit new detailed ...
Biological membranes are ∼40 Å–thick layers consisting of lipids and membrane proteins. Cell membranes define the ultimate inside and outside of all living cells. Eukaryotic cells feature ...
A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical ...
In a just released article in the Journal of Molecular Recognition, Dr. Hermann Schillers et al. report the first visualization of individual microvilli on living cells with atomic force microscopy.
By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a Hadamard productbased image reconstruction algorithm, scientists ...
JPK Instruments, a world-leading manufacturer of nanoanalytic instrumentation for research in life sciences and soft matter, reports on the use of their NanoWizard ® ULTRA Speed AFM system at the ...
In video microscopy techniques, a practical issue is how to properly assign moving features. Indeed, any video recording setup has a finite frame rate, and if several identical (or similar) moving ...
Lipids and membrane proteins existing in cell membranes, which locates at the outermost layer of cells, are responsible for recognizing extracellular environments and transferring that information ...
At the Institut Curie, Simon Scheuring and the research team 1, have for the first time observed a diseased tissue at very high resolution using atomic force microscopy (AFM). By studying the ...
Membrane fouling occurs when insoluble contaminant material is deposited on the membrane surface or within membrane pores, and this can cause deterioration. This article explores how AFM is utilized ...
