Researchers Directly Visualize Nuclear Pore’s Selective Barrier and Dynamic Behavior Using High-Speed AFM

Using an ultra fast-scanning atomic force microscope, a team of researchers from the University of Basel has filmed “living” nuclear pore complexes at work for the first time. Nuclear pores are molecular machines that control the traffic entering or exiting the cell nucleus. In their article published in Nature Nanotechnology, the researchers explain how the passage of unwanted molecules is prevented by rapidly moving molecular “tentacles” inside the pore.

New Reference Samples Allow CD-AFM Tip Calibration with Uncertainty of Below 1nm

As the sizes of computer chips in electronic devices continue to shrink, traditional measurement tools (e.g., microscopes utilizing visible light) are no longer capable of examining surface features, which can be just tens of nanometers. In order to examine these tiny features, researchers use tools such as the critical dimension atomic force microscope (CD-AFM), which measures features by dragging its ¡Ö10 nm tip across the subject¡¯s surface much like a record player needle pulling across a record¡¯s grooves.

Scientists Develop Novel AFM Technique to Further Understanding of Ligand-Receptor Binding

A new high resolution method, that uses atomic force microscopy, has been developed that allows the exact shape of a receptor and it's affinity towards a particular ligand to be measured simultaneously. This has never been achieved before and will prove extremely useful in understanding the complex mechanisms behind cell communication.

High-Speed AFM Reveals Deformation of Cell Membranes by Protein Complex

Cell membranes are very elastic. They can become distorted when they are asked to do so, when the cell divides, or when a virus detaches itself from the cell. In both cases, the membrane is deformed by a protein complex called ESCRT-III.
