What Nanotechnology Tools are Used to Study Protein Aggregation?
Several nanotechnology-based tools are employed to study protein aggregation, including:
1. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): AFM provides high-resolution imaging of protein aggregates at the nanoscale. 2. Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA): NTA helps in characterizing the size distribution and concentration of protein aggregates. 3. Quantum Dots: These fluorescent nanoparticles are used to label and track protein aggregates in live cells.
