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 کاملMeasuring viscoelasticity of soft samples using atomic force microscopy.
Relaxation indentation experiments using atomic force microscopy (AFM) are used to obtain viscoelastic material properties of soft samples. The quasilinear viscoelastic (QLV) model formulated by Fung (1972, "Stress Strain History Relations of Soft Tissues in Simple Elongation," in Biomechanics, Its Foundation and Objectives, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, pp. 181-207) for uniaxial compres...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy: A forceful way with single molecules
The atomic force microscope (AFM) now routinely provides images that reveal subnanometer surface structures of biomolecules. The sensitivity and precision of AFM provide new opportunities for studying the mechanical properties of biomolecules and their interactions in their native environment.
متن کاملNanoimaging of RNA Molecules with Atomic Force Microscopy
Since the introduction of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in 1986, this technology has been widely used for imaging of DNA molecules. More recently, scientists have become increasingly interested in the use of this technique for imaging of RNA molecules as well. In order to accomplish this, it is necessary to establish effective sample preparation procedures for reproducibly obtaining images of R...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy: seeing molecules of lipid and immunoglobulin.
The atomic force microscope (AFM) can image individual molecules by raster-scanning a sharp tip over a surface. In this paper we present molecular-resolution images of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and of ultraviolet light-polymerized films of the lipid dimethyl-bis(pentacosadiynoyloxyethyl) ammonium bromide ("BRONCO"). The polar head groups of individual lipid molecules can be resolved on the surface...
