Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in mammals. Type I collagen its fibril form has a characteristic pattern structure that alternates two regions called gap and overlap. The properties of collagens are highly dependent on water mineral content environment. Here, we apply 3D AFM to characterize at angstrom-scale resolution interfacial nanoribbons. For neutral tip, characterized by oscillation particle density distribution with value 0.3 nm (hydration layers). does not depend...
Collagen is the most abundant protein in tissue scaffolds live organisms. can self-assemble vitro, which has led to a number of biotechnological and biomedical applications. To understand dominant factors that participate formation collagen nanostructures, here we study real time with nanoscale resolution disassembly reassembly collagens. We implement high-speed force microscope, provides situ high spatiotemporal images nanostructures under changing pH conditions. The are dominated by...
