Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

New imaging reveals cancer-linked ADAR1 enzyme structure, potentially enabling targeted therapies by combining HS-AFM and 3D modeling techniques. (Nanowerk News) An enzyme type noted in several ...

Nuclear pore complexes are more dynamic than previously thought, reshaping our understanding of a vital transport process in cells. An international study led by the University of Basel (Switzerland) ...

The DNA of prokaryotes — single-cell organisms, for example bacteria — is known to contain sequences that are derived from DNA fragments of viruses that infected the prokaryote earlier. These ...

What Is Atomic Force Microscopy? Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ultrastructure visualization at molecular resolution. 1 Besides three-dimensional (3D) ...

The developed high-speed three-dimensional scanning force microscopy enabled the measurement of 3D force distribution at solid-liquid interfaces at 1.6 s/3D image. With this technique, 3D hydration ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a method of topographical measurement, wherein a fine probe is raster scanned over a material, and the minute variation in probe height is interpreted by laser ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a technique originally developed to assess the physical and mechanical properties of materials at extremely high resolutions, but the imaging speeds aren't fast enough ...
