title: Atomic force microscopy of macromolecular interactions.
abstract: The introduction of functional imaging tools and techniques that operate at molecular-length scales has provided investigators with unique approaches to characterizing biomolecular structure and function relationships. Recent advances in the field of scanning probe techniques and, in particular, atomic force microscopy have yielded tantalizing insights into the dynamics of protein self-assembly and the mechanics of protein unfolding.
