The potentialities of the atomic force microscopy (AFM) make it a tool of the undeniable value for the study of biomolecule samples. One of the main steps for the application of atomic force microscopy to the study of proteins has been the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The methods of physical adsorption and chemical modification are utilized to immobilize proteins to substrates efficiently. SAMs...
Our objective is to develop a highly miniaturized, solid-phase platform for assaying the function and inhibition of integral membrane proteins (IMPs). To functionalize materials with active membrane proteins, the challenge is to build stabilized, supported biomembranes in which the substrate to biomembrane spacing can be controlled to accommodate larger membrane protein. The silica microsphere (5...
Our aim is to design alpha-helical peptide complexes to enhance their stability and biological feasibility for the study of membrane proteins and their interactions. In on-going work, we employ (K3A4L2A7L2A3K3) as anchoring molecules, where conjugation of the peptide with fluoresceine isothiocyanate (FITC) allows one to access a variety of chemistries (such as introducing fluorescent dye, etc.) for...
We present a highly parallel and reproducible method for reconstituting an array of lipid bilayers to analyze membrane transport. We infuse buffer/lipid/buffer solutions sequentially into a microchannel with numerous microchambers in its walls and seal each chamber by a lipid bilayer containing membrane proteins. Due to the small volume of the chamber (2 pL), membrane transport of confined fluorescent...
Molecular biology works at the nanoscale with most cellular processes depending on complexes of proteins, DNA and membranes that have dimensions in the range 1-100 nm. In order to interface with biology any physical device should present biological components which are ordered on this scale. To achieve this control we must resort to bottom-up methods of manufacturing and this requires that the biological...
