Marine biophysics and atomic force microscopy

Potential applications of AFM in marine biophysics are very broad since this new technique provides a range of new opportunities for viewing and manipulating living and non-living marine specimens. In this field, it should be emphasizesed AFM potential to: (i) image the structure of biomolecules or biosurfaces with molecular (or even submolecular) resolution in seawater with the possibility to change parameters such as pH or ionic strenght ; (ii) measure local chemical, physical and mechanical properties of surfaces and intermolecular forces ; and (iii) manipulate single molecules.
