چکیده

Chitin Nanocrystal Structure In article number 2200320, Yurtsever, Fukuma, and co-workers provided the molecular-scale structural details of chitin nanocrystals in water by combining 3D atomic force microscopy experiments molecular dynamics simulations. The characterization nanocrystal surfaces at scale could pave way for assessing chemical enzymatic activities on nanocrystals, offering an understanding mechanisms degradation.

Probing starch-iodine interaction by atomic force microscopy.

We explored the interaction of iodine with three crystalline type starches, corn, potato, and sweet potato starches using atomic force microscopy. Results revealed that starch molecules aggregated through interaction with iodine solution as well as iodine vapor. Detailed fine structures such as networks, chains, and super-helical structures were found in iodide solution tests. The nanostructure...

Probing small unilamellar EggPC vesicles on mica surface by atomic force microscopy.

Sonicated small unilamellar egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EggPC) vesicles were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging and force measurements. Three different topographies (convex, planar, and concave shape) of the EggPC vesicles on the mica surface were observed by tapping mode in fluid, respectively. It was found that the topography change of the vesicles could be attributed ...
