Characterization of Protein–Protein Interactions Using Atomic Force Microscopy
Atomic force microscopy (AFM), invented in 1986, expanded the application of scanning tunneling microscopy to nonconductive, soft, and live biological samples (Binnig et al., 1986; Hansma et al., 1988; Marti et al., 1988; Drake et al., 1989). AFM has several capabilities, including characterizing topographic details of surfaces from the submolecular level to the cellular level (Radmacher et al....
متن کاملDirect Visualization of Vesicle - Bilayer Complexes by Atomic Force Microscopy
Interactions between phospholipid vesicles and bilayers play a central role in cell physiology, enabling secretion, signaling, and intracellular transport. In many instances these processes require fusion between membranes. Considerable attention has been paid to acquiring the structural details of proteins that mediate fusion;1 however, less is known about the structure and organization of lip...
متن کاملVisualization of mobility by atomic force microscopy.
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins are very thin and hence hard to be visualized by electron microscopy. Thus far, only high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) can visualize them. The molecular movies identify the alignment of IDRs and ordered regions in an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) and show undulation motion of the IDRs. The visualized tail-like structures con...
متن کاملDirect visualization of G-quadruplexes in DNA using atomic force microscopy
The formation of G-quadruplexes in G-rich regions of DNA is believed to affect DNA transcription and replication. However, it is currently unclear how this formation occurs in the presence of a complementary strand. We have used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to image stable RNA/DNA hybrid loops generated by transcription of the plasmid pPH600, which contains a 604-bp fragment of the murine immu...
