Electrostatic force microscope for probing surface charges in aqueous solutions.
A scanning force microscope was converted to an electrostatic force microscope by charging the usually neutral cantilever with phospholipids. The electrostatic force microscope was used to study surface electrostatic charges of samples in aqueous solutions. Lysozymes, DEAE-Sephadex beads, 3-propyltriethoxysilane-treated glass and mica were imaged in water or phosphate buffer with electrostatic ...
متن کاملContinuum Electrostatic Energies of Macromolecules in Aqueous Solutions
The efficient evaluation of electrostatic energies of macromolecules in aqueous solutions is useful for many problems in theoretical structural biology. A continuum method based on the generalized Born (GB) approximation is implemented here. It is shown that the choice of the dielectric discontinuity surface is critical for obtaining correct electrostatic energies of molecules in solution. In a...
متن کاملQuantitative probing of surface charges at dielectric– electrolyte interfaces3
The intrinsic charging status at the dielectric–electrolyte interface (DEI) plays a critical role for electrofluidic gating in microfluidics and nanofluidics, which offers opportunities for integration of wet ionics with dry electronics. A convenient approach to quantitatively probe the surface charges at the DEI for material preselection purpose has been lacking so far. We report here a low-co...

متن کاملAtomic force microscope based biomolecular force-clamp measurements using a micromachined electrostatic actuator.
The authors describe a method for biomolecular force clamp measurements using atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilevers and micromachined membrane-based electrostatic actuators. The actuators comprise of Parylene membranes with embedded side actuation electrodes and are fabricated on a silicon substrate. The devices have a displacement range of 1.8 μm with 200 V actuation voltage, and displacem...
