On artifacts in single-molecule force spectroscopy.
In typical force spectroscopy experiments, a small biomolecule is attached to a soft polymer linker that is pulled with a relatively large bead or cantilever. At constant force, the total extension stochastically changes between two (or more) values, indicating that the biomolecule undergoes transitions between two (or several) conformational states. In this paper, we consider the influence of ...
متن کاملSingle Molecule Force Spectroscopy on Polysaccharides by Atomic Force Microscopy
Recent developments in piconewton instrumentation allow the manipulation of single molecules and measurements of intermolecular as well as intramolecular forces. Dextran filaments linked to a gold surface were probed with the atomic force microscope tip by vertical stretching. At low forces the deformation of dextran was found to be dominated by entropic forces and can be described by the Lange...
متن کاملDynamic Force Spectroscopy of Single Molecule
The direct measurement of forces between individual receptor-ligand complexes is an emerging new field. With the atomic force microscope (AFM) it has been possible to probe the forces between a range of biological molecules, including complementary oligo-nucleotides, proteins and carbohydrate interactions. To date, the force required to rupture these single ligandreceptor interactions is common...
متن کاملSnapShot: Force Spectroscopy and Single-Molecule Manipulation
The deflection of a cantilever is measured using a laser beam and position-sensing detector to obtain force and displacement for both imaging and force spectroscopy. In force spectroscopy, the cantilever is attached to one end of the protein or DNA sample while the other end is immobilized on the surface. The force and position of the tip are measured as the surface is moved away from the tip, ...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Force Spectroscopy on Poly(acrylic acid) by AFM
The mechanical properties of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were investigated on the molecular scale by using AFM. PAA was adsorbed onto a glass substrate and then picked up at one point of the chain with the AFM tip and stretched. The deformation of single PAA chains under tension was measured and modeled by a modified freely-joint-chain model. The length distribution of loops and tails of adsorbed ...
