The persistence length of adsorbed dendronized polymers

Giovanni Dietler, Plinio Maroni, Michal Borkovec, Andrey Mikhaylov

The persistence length of cationic dendronized polymers adsorbed onto oppositely charged substrates was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and quantitative image analysis. One can find that a decrease in the ionic strength leads to an increase of the ...

Single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer scanning near-field optical microscopy: potentials and challenges

Giovanni Dietler, Mounir Driss Mensi, Serguei Sekatski, Kanat Dukenbayev, Andrey Mikhaylov, Ekaterina Rostova, Anton Smirnov

A few years ago, single molecule Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscope (FRET SNOM) images were demonstrated using CdSe semiconductor nanocrystal-dye molecules as donor-acceptor pairs. Corresponding experiments reveal ...

Research in the field of single biopolymers using scanning probe microscopy

Andrey Mikhaylov

Current thesis is devoted to the investigation of biopolymers using AFM, a well established and widely used technique. To begin with, we studied processing of AFM images and its automation. Our software product, DNA Trace, permit one to quickly extract sci ...

Force-induced globule-coil transition in laminin binding protein and its role for viral-cell membrane fusion

Giovanni Dietler, Serguei Sekatski, Andrey Mikhaylov, Fabrizio Benedetti, Tatyana Karakouz, Denis Korneev

The specific interactions of the pairs laminin binding protein (LBP)-purified tick-borne encephalitis viral surface protein E and certain recombinant fragments of this protein, as well as West Nile viral surface protein E and certain recombinant fragments ...

Ultrasharp carbon whisker optical fiber probes for scanning near-field optical microscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Mounir Driss Mensi, Serguei Sekatski, Andrey Mikhaylov

We report the growth of ultrasharp carbon whiskers onto apertured near-field optical glass fiber probes. The ultrasharp carbon whiskers are produced by the electron-assisted dissociation of residual oil vapors present in the vacuum chamber during the elect ...

Force spectroscopy of barnase-barstar single molecule interaction

Giovanni Dietler, Mélanie Favre, Serguei Sekatski, Dmitry Klinov, Andrey Mikhaylov

Results of the single molecule force spectroscopy study of specific interactions between ribonuclease barnase and its inhibitor barstar are presented. Experimental data obtained for the force loading rate ranging 2-70 nN/s are well approximated by a single ...
