Single-cell force spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2008
The controlled adhesion of cells to each other and to the extracellular matrix is crucial for tissue development and maintenance. Numerous assays have been developed to quantify cell adhesion. Among these, the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) for single-cell force spectroscopy (SCFS) has recently been established. This assay permits the adhesion of

Novel single-molecule force spectroscopy approaches to characterize interactions of membrane proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) based single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) is a biophysical tool used to investigate folding and unfolding of biological macromolecules, like membrane proteins. Unfolding of single membrane proteins can be recorded by

Force Mapping Study of Actinoporin Effect in Membranes Presenting Phase Domains

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Equinatoxin II (EqtII) and Fragaceatoxin C (FraC) are pore-forming toxins (PFTs) from the actinoporin family that have enhanced membrane affinity in the presence of sphingomyelin (SM) and phase coexistence in the membrane.

Quark Forces from Hadronic Spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2009
We consider the implications of the most general two-body quark-quark interaction Hamiltonian for the spin-flavor structure of the negative parity L=1 excited baryons. Assuming the most general two-body quark interaction Hamiltonian, we derive two correlations among the masses and mixing angles of these states, which constrain the mixing angles, and ...

On artifacts in single-molecule force spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
Significance The response of single molecules to applied forces can be probed using atomic force microscopes and laser tweezers. In these experiments, a biomolecule is attached, for example, to a mesoscopic (approximately micron size) bead that is trapped in the focus of a laser, via a long intervening polymer.

Analysis of membrane structure of the inner ear motor protein prestin by force spectroscopy

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2021
The high sensitivity of mammalian hearing is achieved by cochlear amplification. The basis of this amplification is the motility of outer hair cells (OHCs), which are sensory cells in the inner ear.

Modification of a single-molecule AFM probe with highly defined surface functionality

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2014
Single-molecule force spectroscopy with an atomic force microscope has been widely used to study inter- and intramolecular interactions. To obtain data consistent with single molecular events, a well-defined method is critical to limit the number of ...

Atomic-Site-Specific Analysis on Out-of-Plane Elasticity of Convexly Curved Graphene and Its Relationship to s p 2 to s p 3 Re-Hybridization

open access: yesCrystals, 2018
The geometry of two-dimensional crystalline membranes is of interest given its unique synergistic interplay with their mechanical, chemical, and electronic properties. For one-atom-thick graphene, these properties can be substantially modified by bending

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy on complex biomolecules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Biomolecular applications of NMR spectroscopy are often merely associated with soluble molecules or magnetic resonance imaging. However, since the late 1970s, solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy has demonstrated its ability to provide atomic-level ...
