Nanomechanics of Amyloid Materials Studied by Atomic Force Microscopy
Amyloids are usually used to refer to a wide range of fibrous nanostructures formed from natural and synthetic proteins and peptides. The self-propagating protein aggregates are rich in ┚-sheets, which stack in hundreds to thousands units perpendicular to the fibrous axis, forming fibrils 5-15 nm in width and several micrometers in length (Dobson, 1999; Jaroniec et al., 2004; Luhrs et al., 2005...
متن کاملProbing physical properties at the nanoscale using atomic force microscopy
Techniques that measure physical properties at the nanoscale with high sensitivity are significantly limited considering the number of new nanomaterials being developed. The development of atomic force microscopy (AFM) has lead to significant advancements in the ability to characterize physical properties of materials in all areas of science: chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology have ma...
متن کاملCharacterization of Fish Gelatin at Nanoscale Using Atomic Force Microscopy
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used as a meaningful tool to characterize the nanostructure of gelatin from catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) skin. The gelatins extracted with pretreatments including acid pretreatment, alkaline pretreatment, and alkaline followed by acid pretreatment (optimized extraction conditions). The resulting gelatins were imaged using AFM and their nanostructure was studie...
متن کاملExploring the Properties and Interactions of Supported Lipid Bilayers on the Nanoscale by Atomic Force Microscopy
Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are biomimetic model systems that are now widely used to address the biophysical and biochemical properties of biological membranes. Two main methods are usually employed to form SLBs: the transfer of two successive monolayers by Langmuir-Blodgett or Langmuir-Schaefer techniques, and the fusion of preformed lipid vesicles. The transfer of lipid films on flat soli...
متن کاملBiomolecular interactions measured by atomic force microscopy.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is nowadays frequently applied to determine interaction forces between biological molecules. Starting with the detection of the first discrete unbinding forces between ligands and receptors by AFM only several years ago, measurements have become more and more quantitative. At the same time, theories have been developed to describe and understand the dynamics of the...
