摘要

The atomic force microscope (AFM), a relatively new tool for investigating interaction forces between nanometer-scale objects, can provide fundamental insight into biological structure. This thesis presents advances for measuring and mapping interaction forces with the AFM and applications of these techniques to the study of bilayer-bilayer interactions.;First, I present an experimental approach, called D-D mapping, for producing relative charge density maps of biological surfaces using an AFM. This approach uses isoforce surfaces collected at different salt concentrations to remove topography and isolate electrostatic contributions to the tip-sample interaction force. This approach is quantitative for surface potentials below 25 mV, avoids tip-sample contact which can damage the sample or contaminate the tip, and does not require values of the cantilever spring constant, tip radius or tip charge---values which are particularly difficult to determine. I demonstrate D-D mapping on mechanically roughened mica, stacked bilayers of dipalmitolphosphatidylserine, dipalmitolphosphatidylcholine patches on mica, and bacteriorhopsin membranes on mica.;Second, I present a framework for determining the tip-sample interaction potential from perturbations to the thermally driven motion of the cantilever that arise when local interaction potentials add to the free AFM cantilever potential. I examine the behavior of the free cantilever in air and in water, measure the total and interaction potentials of an AFM cantilever in a low salt aqueous solution, and validate the approach by reconstructing the classical electrical double-layer force law from the force gradients derived from the potentials. I also present three-dimensional representations of the total and interaction potentials as a function of tip-sample separation.;I also present software analysis tools modify, display, and analyze AFM data sets. Such tools were either wholly inadequate or nonexistent when I began my thesis.;Finally, I investigate interaction forces near membrane surfaces. Force curves collected with the bare tip on solid-phase lipid bilayers show complex membrane punch through behaviors. Force curves with a fluid phase bilayer on the tip and substrate show possible fusion events and formation of membrane tethers.
