Single Molecule DNA Biophysics with Atomic Force Microscopy
Structural and functional properties of double stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) are investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) on a single molecule level. Here, we characterize different linear and circular DNA systems in terms of their geometry and topology, and visualize enzyme binding of restriction endonuclease Hae III to DNA. Manipulation of single DNA molecules is demonstrated by...
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 کاملSingle molecule study of xanthan conformation using atomic force microscopy.
Conformations of individual macromolecules of the biopolymer xanthan were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Xanthan from very dilute solutions (1 ppm) was allowed to adsorb onto freshly cleaved mica and examined using tapping mode AFM under ambient conditions. The secondary structure of xanthan was probed by heating the polymer and gradually cooling, which denatured and renature...
متن کاملSingle-molecule dynamics of the DNA-EcoRII protein complexes revealed with high-speed atomic force microscopy.
The study of interactions of protein with DNA is important for gaining a fundamental understanding of how numerous biological processes occur, including recombination, transcription, repair, etc. In this study, we use the EcoRII restriction enzyme, which employs a three-site binding mechanism to catalyze cleavage of a single recognition site. Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) to...
متن کاملSingle ricin detection by atomic force microscopy chemomechanical mapping
The authors report on a study of detecting ricin molecules immobilized on chemically modified Au 111 surface by chemomechanically mapping the molecular interactions with a chemically modified atomic force microscopy AFM tip. AFM images resolved the different fold-up conformations of single ricin molecule as well as their intramolecule structure of Aand B-chains. AFM force spectroscopy study of ...
