Atomic Force Microscopy Application in Biological Research: A Review Study
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a three-dimensional topographic technique with a high atomic resolution to measure surface roughness. AFM is a kind of scanning probe microscope, and its near-field technique is based on the interaction between a sharp tip and the atoms of the sample surface. There are several methods and many ways to modify the tip of the AFM to investigate surface properties, ...
متن کاملExploring mechanism of xanthate adsorption on chalcopyrite surface: An atomic force microscopy study
In this work, adsorption of the potassium amyl xanthate collector on the pure chalcopyrite surface was studied by applying atomic force microscopy (AFM). The adsorption experiments were carried out at different concentrations of the collector and at diverse pH values in the presence or absence of exterior ions. The changes occurring in the surface morphology of chalcopyrite due to the collector...
متن کاملPhylogeny and molecular dating of the cerato-platanin-encoding genes
The cerato-platanin family consists of proteins that can induce immune responses, cause necrosis, change chemotaxis and locomotion and may be related to the growth and development of various fungi. In this work, we analyzed the phylogenetic relationships among genes encoding members of the cerato-platanin family and computed the divergence times of the genes and corresponding fungi. The results...
متن کاملUnderstanding amyloid aggregation by statistical analysis of atomic force microscopy images.
The aggregation of proteins is central to many aspects of daily life, including food processing, blood coagulation, eye cataract formation disease and prion-related neurodegenerative infections. However, the physical mechanisms responsible for amyloidosis-the irreversible fibril formation of various proteins that is linked to disorders such as Alzheimer's, Creutzfeldt-Jakob and Huntington's dis...
متن کاملCerato-platanin family proteins: one function for multiple biological roles?
INTRODUCTION Despite the increasing number of sequenced genomes, cerato-platanin family proteins (CPPs) seem to exist only in fungi. Bacteria, oomycota, plants, and animals do not in fact possess CP homologs, whereas genes codifying for CPPs have been found, so far, in more than 50 fungal genomes (Chen et al., 2013). Among these fungi there are plant pathogens, such as Botrytis cinerea and Magn...
