Atomic Force Spectroscopy and Biomolecular Recognition

Editor(s):  Salvatore Cannistraro;  Rita Bizzarri

...The topics of this book were also conceived within the networking research activity of the EU COST Action TD 1002 on Applications of Atomic Force Microscopy to NanoMedicine and Life Sciences (AFM4NanoMed&Bio)... (extracted from the Preface)

• Provides practical examples to analyze the force curves and the most common routines
• Overviews biological partner-binding strategies useful in experimental design
• Covers the major features of biorecognition processes, the basic principles of DFS, and their application to biological complexes
• Presents an extensive treatment of theoretical models, data analysis, and experimental procedures

Publication Date:  January 15, 2012, available on line for pre-order.
