Elucidation of Macromolecular Assemblies

Abstract: The molecular structure and cell adhesion properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, laminin and fibronectin, were investigated using optical and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to assess their potential to construct cellular self-assembly systems useful in molecular device design. Optical micrographs show that both laminin and fibronectin were able to bind cells effectively but only fibronectin was able to effectively interface cells with synthetic microstructures used in the fabrication of a … Show more

“…The use of STM on L-B films has led to numerous difficulties in interpreting the data in the form of images. However, STM has met with considerable success in imaging many other macromolecular assemblies or individual macromolecules [28]. In addition of the imaging and characterization of macromolecules, these new microscopies may be useful tools for the microfabrication of molecular assembly-based devices.…”
