Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an emerging technique for a variety of uses involving the analysis of cells. AFM is widely applied to obtain information about both cellular structural and subcellular events. In particular, a variety of investigations into membrane proteins and microfilaments were performed with AFM. Here, we introduce applications of AFM to molecular imaging of membrane proteins, and various approaches for observation and identification of intracellular microfilaments at the molecular level. These approaches can contribute to many applications of AFM in cell imaging.
原子力显微镜(AFM)是一种新兴的技术,可用于多种涉及细胞分析的用途。AFM 广泛应用于获取有关细胞结构和亚细胞事件的信息。特别是,已经使用 AFM 进行了多种膜蛋白和微丝的研究。在这里,我们介绍了 AFM 在膜蛋白分子成像中的应用,以及在分子水平上观察和识别细胞内微丝的各种方法。这些方法可以为 AFM 在细胞成像中的许多应用做出贡献。
