Quantification of biological or biochemical processes are of utmost importance for medical,
biological and biotechnological applications. However, converting the biological information …

The atomic force microscope (AFM) system has evolved into a useful tool for direct
measurements of micro-structural parameters and unraveling the intermolecular forces at …

The use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in biomaterials science and engineering
applications has increased rapidly over the last few years. Beyond being merely a tool for …

The potentialities of the atomic force microscopy (AFM) make it a tool of undeniable value for
the study of biologically relevant samples. AFM is progressively becoming a usual benchtop …

▪ Abstract The atomic force microscope operates on surfaces. Since surfaces occupy much
of the space in living organisms, surface biology is a valid and valuable form of biology that …

A new methodology is introduced to produce nanometer-sized protein patterns. The
approach includes two main steps, nanopatterning of self-assembled monolayers using …

Nanopatterns of thiolated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) are produced by using an atomic
force microscopy (AFM)-based lithography technique known as nanografting. Under high …

We review recent progress in the study of the structure and dynamics of phospholipid
membranes and associated proteins, using novel label-free analytical tools. We describe …

The highlight of the past year is the unfolding and refolding of the muscle protein titin in the
atomic force microscope. A related highlight in the intersection between experiment and …

Scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) is a scanning probe technique that utilizes
the increase in access resistance that occurs if an electrolyte filled glass micro-pipette is …
