Article Synopsis
- Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are proteins that lack a fixed shape, playing crucial roles in various biological processes due to their ability to adopt multiple structures.
- The dynamic nature of IDPs makes it challenging to analyze their structures, but high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) offers a promising method for studying these proteins.
- Using HS-AFM, researchers can capture images that reveal the different conformations of IDPs, identify regions that are consistently folded or disordered, and estimate the number of amino acids in disordered segments, providing insight into their dynamic behavior.
The time dependence of the formation of lotus wax tubules after recrystallization from various chloroform-based solutions on an HOPG surface at room temperature was studied by atomic force microscopy (magnetic AC mode) taking series of consecutive images of the formation process. The growth of the tubules oriented in an upright fashion follows a sequential rodlet→ring→tubule behavior. The influence of a number of factors, e.

We present here the first results on the self-assembly of tubules of natural wax from lotus leaves on a single crystal Au(111) surface. A comparison of the tubule growth on Au(111) to that on HOPG is discussed. Although the tubule formation on both Au(111) and HOPG takes place on an intermediate wax film which should mask the substrate properties, the tubule orientations differ.
