Direct immobilization of avidin protein on AFM tip functionalized by acrylic acid vapor at RF plasma

Abstract: The atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used as a force sensor to measure unbinding forces of single bound complexes in the nanonewton and piconewton range. Force spectroscopy measurements can be applied to study both intermolecular and intramolecular interactions of complex biological and synthetic macromolecules. Although the AFM has been extensively used as a nano force sensor, the commercially available cantilever is limited to silicon and silicon nitride. Those materials reduce the adhesion sensitivity… Show more

“…9−13 One of the most versatile techniques for imaging individual proteins is atomic force microscopy (AFM), which has a broad range of biophysical applications, including single-molecule imaging, 14−16 force spectroscopy, 17,18 and real time protein− protein interactions 19,20 and protein structural and biophysicochemical properties. 21,22 An effective immobilization (tethering) technique is essential for AFM. Early experiments on protein immobilization with metal nanoclusters employed cluster self-pinning: the cluster deposition energy used fixed the clusters to their point of impact.…”

“…The functionalisation components (Si 3 N 4 , APTES, glutaraldehyde and ALS) were characterised by FTIR [54]. Figure 4 shows the FTIR spectra for Si 3 N 4 (Figure 4(a)), Si 3 N 4 reacted with APTES and glutaraldehyde (Figure 4(b)), and Si 3 N 4 after functionalisation with the ALS enzyme-enriched extracts (Figure 4(c)).…”
