Fibronectin molecule visualized in electron microscopy: a long, thin, flexible strand
We have determined the structure of plasma fibronectin by electron microscopy of shadowed specimens. the 440,000 molecular weight, dimeric molecule appears to be a long, thin, highly flexible strand. The contour length of the most extended molecules is 160 nm, but a distribution of lengths down to 120 nm was observed, indicating flexibility in extension as well as in bending. The average diamet...
متن کاملSubstructure of the myosin molecule as visualized by electron microscopy.
The general topography of the myosin molecule has been elucidated by electron microscopy of shadow-cast preparations.'-3 The model obtained from these data is that of a globular head, about 200 A in diameter by 50 A high, attached to a rodlike tail 1300 to 1400 A long by 20 A wide. This picture of the myosin molecule had been anticipated on the basis of physicochemical and X-ray diffraction stu...
متن کاملNanoscale mechanical drumming visualized by 4D electron microscopy.
With four-dimensional (4D) electron microscopy, we report in situ imaging of the mechanical drumming of a nanoscale material. The single crystal graphite film is found to exhibit global resonance motion that is fully reversible and follows the same evolution after each initiating stress pulse. At early times, the motion appears "chaotic" showing the different mechanical modes present over the m...
متن کاملSingle-nanoparticle phase transitions visualized by four-dimensional electron microscopy.
The advancement of techniques that can probe the behaviour of individual nanoscopic objects is of paramount importance in various disciplines, including photonics and electronics. As it provides images with a spatiotemporal resolution, four-dimensional electron microscopy, in principle, should enable the visualization of single-nanoparticle structural dynamics in real and reciprocal space. Here...
متن کاملIdiotype positive T cells visualized by autoradiography and electron microscopy.
Anti-idiotypic antibodies were prepared in (CBA X C57BL/6)F1 hybrid mice by immunization either with CBA anti-C57BL/6 alloantiserum or with purified CBA thymus-processed lymphoid cells (T cells) Iodinated anti-mouse Ig or triple sandwich ferritin-labeling techniques served to visualize the reaction between idiotype and anti-idiotype. From 5 to 10% of purified CBA T cells appeared to carry recep...
