Atomic force microscope brings together two RNA to assemble a functional molecular complex
Using an atomic force microscope as a “crane”, LMU (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) researchers have succeeded in bringing two biomolecules together to form an active complex – with nanometer precision and built-in quality control. The business end of the atomic force microscope (AFM) is its needle-sharp tip. It can be used to pick single molecules from a …
