Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We worked on three subjects. In subject 1, we elucidated the functional mechanism of various protein systems by observing their dynamic processes using high-speed AFM (HS-AFM) that we had established before. Besides, we demonstrated that HS-AFM can analyze the structure of intrinsically disordered proteins that are difficult to analyze with conventional methods. In subject 2, we developed fast/wide-area scanning techniques without generation of unwanted vibrations and an interactive HS-AFM technique that can manipulate the sample during imaging. The usefulness of these new techniques were demonstrated. In addition, we developed cantilever-scan type of HS-AFM combined with fluorescence microscopy, and thereby, made it possible to capture HS-AFM and fluorescence images simultaneously. In subject 3, we developed high-speed scanning ion conductance microscopy that can image the sample without contact with the sample. The imaging speed reached a level 100-times faster than before.
