▪ Abstract Atomic force microscopy is an imaging tool used widely in fundamental research,
although it has, like other scanned probe microscopies, provided only limited information …

The spatial distribution of intermolecular forces governs macromolecular interactions. The
atomic force microscope, a relatively new tool for investigating interaction forces between …

Tapping mode atomic force microscopy in liquids gives a substantial improvement in
imaging quality and stability over standard contact mode. In tapping mode the probe‐sample …

Chemical force microscopy (CFM) was used to probe interactions between ionizable and
neutral functional groups in aqueous solutions. Force microscope probe tips and sample …

Tertiary structure of supercoiled DNA is a significant factor in a number of genetic functions
and is apparently affected by environmental conditions. We applied atomic force microscopy …

In buffers containing selected transition metal salts, DNA binds to mica tightly enough to be
directly imaged in the buffer in the atomic force microscope (AFM, also known as scanning …

It is essential to put individual, free-standing nanowires onto insulating substrates and
integrate them to useful devices. Here we report a strategy for fabrication of conducting …

The size and complexity of the structure of macromolecules allows the combination of
different, in some cases even antagonistic, properties, eg, in solubility, in flexibility, or …

This study demonstrated that atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to obtain high-
resolution topographical images of bacteria, and to quantify the tip–cell interaction force and …

Double-stranded (ds) RNA is the genetic material of a variety of viruses and has been
recently recognized as a relevant molecule in cells for its regulatory role. Despite that the …
