Attaching Antibodies to AFM Probes with the Sulfhydryl Reactive PEG Tether

Application Notes

AFM probes can be transformed into sensitive, chemically selective biosensors by attaching ligand molecules to the tips of the probes. Single-molecule molecular recognition force microscopy (MRFM) is an AFM-based technique that relies heavily on probes that have been modified with ligand molecules [Riener et al. 2003, Hinterdorfer 2004]. In MRFM, single-molecule unbinding interactions between ligands and complementary receptors that are immobilized on a substrate are observed and quantified one by one as the AFM cantilever approaches and subsequently withdraws from the substrate. These force spectroscopy (FS) experiments can provide valuable information about the structure and dynamics of molecular unbinding events at the single-molecule level [Noy et al. 1997]. The technique has also been effectively applied to gain an understanding of the intramolecular forces involved in protein folding and polymer elongation [Allison et al. 2002].
