title: Atomic force microscopy for the characterization of proteoliposomes.
abstract: Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a useful tool for the visualization of soft biological samples in a nanoscale resolution. In the study presented here, the surface morphology ofP-selectin and Transferrin modified proteoliposomes were investigated in air and under water. The proteins were visualized without pre-functionalization or staining.
