AI Article Synopsis
- Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measures the tunneling current to create detailed surface images of proteins.
- Atomic force microscopy (AFM) detects the repulsive forces between a probe and the surface to map protein structures.
- These techniques provide high-quality surface topographies that are challenging to achieve with traditional methods like transmission electron microscopy.
Article Abstract
Scanning tunnelling microscopy and atomic force microscopy, one scanning the tunnelling current and the other the repulsive atomic force between same and probe, can give high-quality surface topographies of proteins, which have been difficult to obtain by more conventional methods such as transmission electron microscopy.
