Abstract
Sub diffraction limited infrared absorption imaging of hemoglobin was performed by coupling IR optics with an atomic force microscope. Comparisons between the AFM topography and IR absorption images of micron sized hemoglobin features are presented, along with nanoscale IR spectroscopic analysis of the metalloprotein.

## Abstract Proteolytic cleavage of extracellular matrix (ECM) is a critical feature of tumor cell invasion, and affects cancer cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and migration. Malignant cells secrete most proteases as inactive proenzymes that undergo proteolytic cleavage for activation, and
