The adsorption of the iron storage protein ferritin was studied by liquid tapping mode atomic force microscopy in order to obtain molecular resolution in the adsorbed layer within the aqueous environment in which the adsorption was carried out. The surface coverage and the structure of the adsorbed

✦ Synopsis
Net repulsive interactions between n-hexadecane and a polystyrene microsphere in aqueous solutions are measured with atomic force microscopy and interpreted using the augmented Young-Laplace equation. The true separation between probe and fluid interface is implicitly computed from the force-distance data, providing a more accurate description of drop or bubble deformation. Experiments and theoretical arguments demonstrate that a fluid interface stiffens with increasing deformation and is not accurately treated as a Hookean spring. The unexpected stability of the draining aqueous film between hydrophobic bodies in electrolyte solutions is explained primarily by the deformation of the oil drop in response to the applied normal force, as well as the increased hydrodynamic resistance due to the increased drainage area.

## Abstract Some peptides have previously been reported to bind low molecular weight chemicals. One such peptide with the amino acid sequence His–Ala–Ser–Tyr–Ser was selectively screened from a phage library and bound to a cationic porphyrin, 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(__N__‐methylpyridinium‐4‐yl)‐21__H__
By using atomic force microscopy (AFM)/lateral force microscopy (LFM), a comparative study of the topography as well as the tribological properties (at a micrometer scale) of sized E-glass fibers was done. Normal and lateral deflection signals are recorded when an AFM tip scans a fiber surface. Fric
Type III collagen is a component of the basement membrane of endothelial cells, and may play a role in the interaction between hemostatic system proteins and the basement membrane of blood vessels. To begin to investigate these structural interactions, we have imaged type III collagen in solution by
