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 کاملCadherin interaction probed by atomic force microscopy.
Single molecule atomic force microscopy was used to characterize structure, binding strength (unbinding force), and binding kinetics of a classical cadherin, vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, secreted by transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells as cis-dimerized full-length external domain fused to Fc-portion of human IgG. In physiological buffer, the external domain of VE-cadherin dimers is a ...
متن کاملAnalysis of bacterial adhesion using a gradient force analysis method and colloid probe atomic force microscopy.
The atomic force microscope (AFM) has been used to examine the stickiness of bacteria on the basis of the analysis of approach and retraction force curves between the AFM tip and the bacterial surface. One difficulty in analyzing approach curve data is that the distance between the AFM tip and the surface of the bacterium is difficult to define. The exact distances are difficult to determine be...
متن کاملCharacterization of English ivy (Hedera helix) adhesion force and imaging using atomic force microscopy
English ivy (Hedera helix) is well known for its ability to climb onto and strongly adhere to a variety of solid substrates. It has been discovered that the ivy aerial rootlet secretes an adhesive composed of polysaccharide and spherical nanoparticles. This study aims to characterize the mechanical properties of the nanocomposite adhesive using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The adhesive was fi...
