Afm Study of Macromolecules’ Structure and Organization
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques allowed us to visualize pentameric organization of immunoglobulins IgM and domain structure of immunoglobulins IgG. Together with obtained by AFM data on conditions of ribosome-inactivating proteins' type II (RIPsII) tetramerization these results contribute to many investigations concerning RIPsII biology as well as antigen-antibody and lectin-ligand interactions.

Interaction of Cisplatin with Cellular Macromolecules: A Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Study
Platinum is a metallic element, which may react with our cellular component through its involvement in cancer chemotherapy medications. Cisplatin is one of the most useful antineoplastic drugs against human ovarian carcinoma, which has the central element of platinum in its structure. The nature of chemical interaction between platinum and cellular macromolecules is yet to be understood. We exa...

Polypyrrole–hydroxyethylcellulose/TitaniumDioxide (PPy-HEC/TiO2) nanocomposite was synthesized via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method at room temperature in water and water/ethyl acetate solution in the presence of ferric chloride (FeCl3). The effect of TiO2 nanoparticles and HEC on the characteristics of products such as thermal stability and morphology was investigated. The fabr...
متن کاملBasement membrane macromolecules: insights from atomic force microscopy.
The major macromolecules of basement membranes-collagen IV, laminin-1, and heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG)-have been analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), both individually and in combination with each other. The positions of laminin binding to collagen IV were mapped and compared with the positions of imperfections in the amino acid sequence of collagen IV; the apparent molecular volu...
متن کاملIdentification of Characteristic Macromolecules of Escherichia coli Genotypes by Atomic Force Microscope Nanoscale Mechanical Mapping
The categorization of microbial strains is conventionally based on the molecular method, and seldom are the morphological characteristics in the bacterial strains studied. In this research, we revealed the macromolecular structures of the bacterial surface via AFM mechanical mapping, whose resolution was not only determined by the nanoscale tip size but also the mechanical properties of the spe...
