BIOMOLECULE INTERACTION USING ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE

摘要

Biomolecule interaction using an atomic force microscope is provided to analyze ligand-receptor interaction by fixing a ligand at the tip of the atomic force microscope using dendron. A cantilever for an atomic force microscope comprises a main body with a fixed end and a free end. The free end has a surface chemically deformed by dendron. The ends located on a basin of the dendron are coupled to the deformed surface. The end of linear portion of the dendron has become a functional group.
