GTG banding pattern on human metaphase chromosomes revealed by high resolution atomic-force microscopy.
Surface topography of human metaphase chromosomes following GTG banding was examined using high resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM). Although using a completely different imaging mechanism, which is based on the mechanical interaction of a probe tip with the chromosome, the observed banding pattern is comparable to results from light microscopy and a karyotype of the AFM imaged metaphase s...
متن کاملThree-dimensional atomic force microscopy: interaction force vector by direct observation of tip trajectory.
The prospect of a robust three-dimensional atomic force microscope (AFM) holds significant promise in nanoscience. Yet, in conventional AFM, the tip-sample interaction force vector is not directly accessible. We scatter a focused laser directly off an AFM tip apex to rapidly and precisely measure the tapping tip trajectory in three-dimensional space. This data also yields three-dimensional cant...
متن کاملMolecular machines directly observed by high-speed atomic force microscopy.
Molecular machines made of proteins are highly dynamic and carry out sophisticated biological functions. The direct and dynamic high-resolution visualization of molecular machines in action is considered to be the most straightforward approach to understanding how they function but this has long been infeasible until recently. High-speed atomic force microscopy has recently been realized, makin...
متن کاملSurface Evaluation of Resin Zein Films Containing Sugar Plasticizers by Permeability and Atomic Force Microscopy Analysis
Zein is one of the best biopolymer for edible film making and sugars are natural plasticizers for biopolymers. In this research, sugars (fructose, galactose and glucose) at three levels (0.5, 0.7, 1 g/g of zein) were used as plasticizers for zein protein films and their water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen permeability (OP) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) topography were studied. The p...
متن کاملStructure and Dynamics of Dinucleosomes Assessed by Atomic Force Microscopy
Dynamics of nucleosomes and their interactions are important for understanding the mechanism of chromatin assembly. Internucleosomal interaction is required for the formation of higher-order chromatin structures. Although H1 histone is critically involved in the process of chromatin assembly, direct internucleosomal interactions contribute to this process as well. To characterize the interactio...
