This contribution reviews selected mechanical experiments on individual flexible macromolecules using single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) based on atomic force microscopy. Focus is placed on the analysis of elasticity and conformational changes in single polymer chains upon variation of the external environment, as well as on conformational changes induced by the mechanical stress applied to individual macromolecular chains. Various experimental strategies regarding single-molecule manipulation and SMFS testing are discussed, as is theoretical analysis through single-chain elasticity models derived from statistical mechanics. Moreover, a complete record, reported to date, of the parameters obtained when applying the models to fit experimental results on synthetic polymers and polysaccharides is presented. 相似文献

Investigation on the folding mode of a single polymer chain in its crystal is significant to the understanding of the mechanism of the fundamental crystallization as well as the engineering of new polymer crystal-based materials. Herein, we use the combined techniques of atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging and force spectroscopy to pull a single polyethylene oxide (PEO) chain out of its spiral crystal in amyl acetate. From these data, the folding mode of polymer chains in the spiral crystal has been reconstructed. We find that the stems tilt in the typical flat area, leading to the decrease in the apparent lamellar height. While in the area of screw dislocation, the lamellar height gradually increases in the range of several nanometers. These results indicate that the combined techniques present a novel tool to directly unravel the chain folding mode of spiral crystals at single-molecule level. 相似文献

The interaction between the cell adhesion molecule CD11b and its ligand ICAM-1 plays an important role in inflammatory responses in the disease of atherosclerosis. Atorvastatin is a commonly prescribed statin drug which has been considered as one of the most potent therapeutic agents for atherosclerosis due to its lipid-lowering effect. Recently, there is a growing body of evidence that atorvastatin has anti-inflammatory effect. We have applied the advanced method of live-cell single-molecule force spectros... 相似文献

In this letter, we report on the direct measurement of the intercalation interactions between acridine and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) using single molecule force spectroscopy. The interaction between acridine and dsDNA is broken by force of 36 pN at a loading rate of 5.0 nN/s. The most probable rupture force between acridine and dsDNA is dependent on the loading rate, indicating that the binding of acridine and dsDNA is a dynamic process. The combination of SMFS experimental data with the theoretical model clearly suggests the presence of two energy barriers along with an unbinding trajectory of acridine-dsDNA. 相似文献

Single molecule recognition imaging and dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) analysis showed strong binding affinity between an aptamer and ricin, which was comparable with antibody-ricin interaction. Molecular simulation showed a ricin binding conformation with aptamers and gave different ricin conformations immobilizing on substrates that were consistent with AFM images. 相似文献

Supramolecular binding is a key process in many biological systems and in newly developed supramolecular assemblies. Most of the scientific work on these systems is focused on their structural properties and on the thermodynamics of the association process. However, the underlying dynamics are usually much less known, in spite of the great importance they have during the binding process in these highly dynamic systems. Understanding supramolecular binding in biological systems and controlling the functionality of new synthetic supramolecular systems can only be achieved through knowledge of the structure–dynamics relationship. There is a strong need for suitable techniques which cover the typically wide time interval of the association dynamics and which do not need a perturbation of the system. We briefly review high‐resolution fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) as a technique to monitor supramolecular dynamics and to give information on how structure determines the dynamics of host–guest association. The comparison of hosts and guests with different structures shows that geometrical and orientational requirements determine the association rate constant, whereas the dissociation is defined by the strength of specific interactions. As model hosts cyclodextrins and micelles are studied. 相似文献

Hydrodynamic forces in stirred solutions induce chirality in some supramolecular species of J‐aggregates, as detected at the level of the electronic transition. However, the mechanism that explains the phenomenon remains to be elucidated, although the basic effect of hydrodynamic gradients of the shear rate is most probably the folding or bending of the nanoparticles in solution. Herein, we demonstrate a correlation between chiral flows in different regions of circular and square stirred cuvettes and the emergence of true circular dichroism (CD). The results show that chaotic flows lead to a racemic mixture of chiral shaped supramolecular species, and vortical flows to scalemic mixtures. In a magnetically stirred flask the descending and ascending flows are of different chiral sign and the CD reading depends on the weighting of these two flows of inverse chiral sign. The effect of the gradient of shear rates of the flows leading to chiral shape objects depends on the shape of the cuvette, which suggests that the flask shape and the controlled addition of reagents in defined regions of the stirred solutions may exert a control in self‐assembly processes. 相似文献

An important polysaccharide, amylose crystallizes as a regular single left-handed helix from a propanol, butanol, or iodine solution. However, its solution structure remains elusive because amylose does not form molecular solutions in these solvents, and standard spectroscopic techniques cannot be exploited to determine its structure. Using AFM, we forced individual amylose chains adsorbed to a surface to enter these poor solvents and carried out stretch-release measurements on them in solution. In this manner, we directly captured the formation of individual amylose helices induced by butanol and iodine. With an accuracy approaching that of X-ray diffraction on amylose crystals, we determined that the pitch of the helix in solution is 1.3 angstroms/ring. We also directly measured the force driving the formation of the helix in solution to be 50 pN. SMD simulations in explicit butanol reproduced the AFM-measured force-extension curves and revealed that the long plateau feature is caused by the rupture of O(2)n-O(6)(n+6) and O(3)n-O(6)(n+6) hydrogen bonds and by the unwinding of the helix. We also found that amylose helices formed in iodine solution are more compliant and hysteretic as compared to helices in butanol, which extend/relax reversibly. In iodine solution, the formation of the helix is inhibited by force and limited by the slow kinetics of the amylose-iodine complex. By forcing individual molecules into poor solvents and performing force spectroscopy measurements in solution, our AFM approach uniquely supplements X-ray diffraction and NMR methods for investigating solution conformations of insoluble biopolymers. 相似文献

We propose herein a method to study local surface charge dissipation in dielectric films using force spectroscopy technique of atomic force microscopy. By using a normalization procedure and considering an analytical expression of the tip‐sample interaction force, we could estimate the characteristic time decay of the dissipation process. This approach is completely independent of the atomic force microscopy tip geometry and considerably reduces the amount of experimental data needed for the calculation compared with other techniques. The feasibility of the method was demonstrated in a freshly cleaved mica surface, in which the local charge dissipation after cleavage followed approximately a first‐order exponential law with the characteristic time decay of approximately 7–8 min at 30% relative humidity (RH) and 2–3.5 min at 48% RH.

Cellulose supramolecular structure changes during activation by organophosphorus compounds were studied by electron microscopy, IR spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. These processes were shown to enhance interfibrillar swelling, weakening of intermolecular H-bonds between cellulose microfibrils, and loosening of the packing. As a result, the accessibility of esterification reagents to the molecules is improved 相似文献

Recent developments in structural elucidation of supramolecular systems by advanced solid state NMR are described. Special emphasis is placed on hydrogen-bonded sytems and columnar stacks of aromatic moieties. In imidazole-based proton conductores spatially separated regions of high and low mobility are identified. In stacks of alkyl-substituted hexabenzocoronenes maximum charge carrier mobility is observed for crystal-like stacking of the discs. 相似文献

The supramolecular approach was applied to obtain a thermotropic liquid crystalline phase from the smallest possible molecules. Diaminobenzene derivatives are able to form smectic layers through a network of interconnected hydrogen bonded rings. The observed smectic A phase exhibits unusually small optical birefringence, comparable with that of lyotropic lamellar phases. 相似文献
