| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Direct measurements of interaction force field in close proximity to biomolecules, having soft structures, and the spatial distribution of their molecular fluctuations have been realized by the 3-dimensional force mapping method based on frequency modulation atomic force microscopy, which has a molecular-scale imaging capability. The force sensitivity and the detection response time were particularly improved. The measurement time for the dissipation energy directly reflecting the sample fluctuation was also improved. Furthermore, the present method allows us to conduct the quantitative force measurement. The relationship between the dissipation signal and the damping coefficient at a solid-liquid interface was clearly analyzed. Finally 3D map of the hydration structure and the dissipation energy, in connection to the molecular fluctuation, near biomoleules was successfully obtained. The relaxation time of a molecular assembly was estimated from the dissipation measurement.
