研究目的
Exploring more precise cell membrane structures and detailed functions of biomolecules on cell membranes using high resolution microscopy techniques like AFM and NSOM.
研究成果
AFM-SMFS, AFM-TREC, and NSOM are powerful techniques for in-situ single molecule detection of biomolecule distributions on cell membranes, providing insights into the roles and mechanisms of membrane biomolecules in biological phenomena.
研究不足
AFM and NSOM are surface-limited detection techniques, unable to image intracellular molecules. AFM's temporal resolution is limited for dynamic studies of cell membrane biomolecules. NSOM requires fluorescent markers for biomolecule detection.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilizes AFM and NSOM for high-resolution imaging of cell membrane biomolecules. AFM is used for single molecule detection by measuring cantilever deflection, while NSOM combines high resolution morphology and fluorescence images.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focuses on cell membranes of bacterial and mammalian cells, using specific ligands and fluorescence markers for biomolecule detection.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
AFM tips functionalized with specific ligands, NSOM probes with small apertures, and fluorescence markers.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Functionalization of AFM tips with ligands, scanning of cell surfaces with AFM and NSOM, and data collection on biomolecule distribution and interactions.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis of force-distance curves for AFM and fluorescence signals for NSOM to map biomolecule distribution and interactions.
