Abstract

Carbon nanotubes represent ideal structures for use as atomic force microscopic (AFM) tips in structural biology because of their small diameter, high aspect ratio and high strength. Recent advances in fabrication of carbon nanotube probe with sub-nanometer radii promise to yield insight into the structure of biological macromolecules and complexes, these were previously unobservable with conventional AFM cantilevers.
