Combining Atomic Force Microscopy with Confocal Microscopy
Confocal fluorescence microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are two established techniques that can be used to study single molecules. Both techniques have their individual capabilities that permit to study different aspects such as topography using AFMs, or dynamics using fluorescence spectroscopy. Thus, a combination of both techniques into a single instrument enhances the methodology ...
متن کاملDynamics of the nucleosome and chromatin fiber studied by single molecule spectroscopy and computer simulations
We present recent studies on the structure and dynamics of monoand oligonucleosomes, using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The effect of salt concentration, linker histone H1 and histone acetylation on the structure of monoand trinucleosomes reconstituted on nucleosome positioning sequences was investigated by FRET in bulk solution and on...
متن کاملSimultaneous AFM/Fluorescence Imaging of Living Cells – Fluorescence-guided Force Spectroscopy
High resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be performed simultaneously with optical microscopy techniques, such as fluorescence or differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. The combined methodologies provide complementary information about the studied sample which establishes the basis for a better understanding of physiological processes and the function of biomolecules, and ...
متن کاملSelf-assembled nanoparticles of dextrin substituted with hexadecanethiol.
The amphiphilic molecule dextrin-VA-SC16 (dexC16) was synthesized and studied in this work. DexC16 has a hydrophilic dextrin backbone with grafted acrylate groups (VA) substituted with hydrophobic 1-hexadecanethiol (C16). A versatile synthetic method was developed allowing control of the dextrin degree of substitution with the hydrophobic chains (DSC16, number of alkyl chains per 100 dextrin gl...
متن کاملDecoupling geometrical and chemical cues directing epidermal stem cell fate on polymer brush-based cell micro-patterns.
The intricacy of the different parameters involved in cell adhesion to biomaterials and fate decision (e.g. proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis) makes the decoupling of the respective effects of surface properties, extra-cellular matrix protein adsorption and ultimately cell behaviour difficult. This work presents a micro-patterned polymer brush platform to control the adsorption of extra...
