Cadherin 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 کاملNeuron Biomechanics Probed by Atomic Force Microscopy
Mechanical interactions play a key role in many processes associated with neuronal growth and development. Over the last few years there has been significant progress in our understanding of the role played by the substrate stiffness in neuronal growth, of the cell-substrate adhesion forces, of the generation of traction forces during axonal elongation, and of the relationships between the neur...
متن کاملPotential Distribution in Functionalized Graphene Devices Probed by Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy
Kelvin probe force microscopy was used to study the impact of contacts and topography on the local potential distribution on contacted, individual functionalized graphene sheets (FGS) deposited on a SiO2/Si substrate. Negligible contact resistance is found at the graphene/Ti interface and a graphene resistance of 2.3 kΩ is extracted for a single sheet with sub-μm size. Pronounced steps in the t...
متن کاملElectrostatic-free piezoresponse force microscopy
Contact and non-contact based atomic force microscopy (AFM) approaches have been extensively utilized to explore various nanoscale surface properties. In most AFM-based measurements, a concurrent electrostatic effect between the AFM tip/cantilever and sample surface can occur. This electrostatic effect often hinders accurate measurements. Thus, it is very important to quantify as well as remove...
متن کاملMechanics of spreading cells probed by atomic force microscopy
Cellular adhesion and motility are fundamental processes in biological systems such as morphogenesis and tissue homeostasis. During these processes, cells heavily rely on the ability to deform and supply plasma membrane from pre-existing membrane reservoirs, allowing the cell to cope with substantial morphological changes. While morphological changes during single cell adhesion and spreading ar...
