Remarkably, AFM can measure interactions between and within single biomolecules, giving us clues on how cells direct adhesion between ... recognition events and protein folding pathways.

In this technique, a biomolecule is attached between a surface and an AFM ... protein interactions, DNA supercoiling, and the torsional properties of biomolecules. SMFS allows the direct measurement ...

Schematic illustration of Friction Force Microscopy (FFM). The AFM cantilever, a small diving board-like structure about 200 micrometers long, 50 micrometers wide, and 1 micrometer thick, has a sharp ...
