What are the Key Techniques in Nanotechnology for Protein Analysis?
Several key techniques have emerged from the intersection of nanotechnology and protein analysis: - Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): AFM allows for the visualization of protein structures at the nanoscale, providing detailed topographical maps of protein surfaces. - Nanopore Sequencing: This technique involves the passage of proteins through nanopores, allowing for the real-time analysis of protein sequences and post-translational modifications. - Plasmonic Biosensors: These sensors utilize surface plasmon resonance to detect protein interactions with high sensitivity and specificity.
