title: The surface apparatus--a tool for probing molecular protein interactions.
abstract: The measurements described demonstrate the variety of protein or protein-mediated interactions that can be probed directly with the SFA. The distance, force and dynamic measurement capabilities provide tremendous potential for the identification and quantification of the molecular mechanisms and forces that both determine protein properties and influence protein function in diverse environments.
