In this interview, News-Medical Life Science talks to Professor Toshio Ando about his interest in high-speed AFM and how it can revolutionize the observation of protein molecules. How did your ...

Scientists at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how a key brain enzyme organizes itself to help memory formation. Their study, ...

High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is the only experimental technique to directly watch proteins in dynamic action. However, as a surface scanning technique with limited spatial resolution, ...

The predicted orientation of the Cas9 protein on the AFM substrate is shown, and a simulated AFM image calculated in the scanning view perspective shows remarkable agreement with previous HS-AFM ...

(Nanowerk News) Allowing the direct observation of biomolecules in dynamic action, high-speed AFM has opened a new avenue to dynamic structural biology. An enormous amount of successful applications ...

In video microscopy techniques, a practical issue is how to properly assign moving features. Indeed, any video recording setup has a finite frame rate, and if several identical (or similar) moving ...

Cell, tissue, and organ structure is maintained by cell-cell adhesion molecules that connect opposing cells. Cadherins are a class of essential cell-cell adhesion molecules for tissue formation and ...

KANAZAWA, Japan, March 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Review of Scientific Instruments a newly developed atomic force microscopy approach for imaging biological ...

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 ...
