Distributions of Parameters and Features of Multiple Bond Ruptures in Force Spectroscopy by Atomic Force Microscopy

Guo, Senli; Li, Nan; Lad, Nimit; Desai, Shivam; Akhremitchev, Boris B. (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2010)

Force spectroscopy measurement of rupture forces of bound molecules becomes an important physicochemical tool in characterizing intermolecular interactions, Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements are among the most ...
Mechanical Distortion of Protein Receptor Decreases the Lifetime of a Receptor-Ligand Bond

Guo, Senli; Li, Nan; Lad, Nimit; Ray, Chad; Akhremitchev, Boris B. (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2010)

Substantial experimental evidence indicates that the mechanical force applied to pull apart non-covalent molecular bonds (such as receptor ligand pairs) can significantly decrease the bond lifetime. This evidence is often ...
