Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is part of a range of emerging microscopic methods for biologists which offer the magnification range of both the light and electron microscope, but allow imaging under the'natural'conditions usually associated with the

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a high resolution technique for studying the external and internal structures of starch granules. For this purpose granules were isolated from bananas and embedded in a non-penetrating resin. To achieve image contrast

Strawberry ( Fragaria × anannasa Duch.) is one of the most important soft fruit. Rapid loss of firmness occurs during the ripening process, resulting in a short shelf life and high economic losses. To get insight into the role of pectin matrix in th

Mucins are the main components of the gastrointestinal mucus layer. Mucin glycosylation is critical to most intermolecular and intercellular interactions. However, due to the highly complex and heterogeneous mucin glycan structures, the encoded biolo

Pectins analysed by AFM are visualized as individual chains, branched or unbranched, and aggregates. To investigate the nature of these structures, sodium carbonate soluble pectins from strawberry fruits were digested with endo-polygalacturonase M2 f

A quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCMD) has been used to monitor the adsorption and structure of lysozyme monolayers and multilayers, and poly-L-lysine (PLL)-polygalacturonic acid (PGalA) multilayers at a solid-liquid interfa

Cell wall disassembly during fruit ripening is the main process leading to fruit softening. In strawberry fruit (Fragaria × ananassa, Duch.), functional analysis with transgenic plants have related the loss of firm texture to the metabolism of pecti

Pectin is an integral component of non-graminaceous plant cell walls. It is believed to form an interconnected network structure independent of the cellulose-xyloglucan network structure. Pectin gels are often used as a model for the pectin network s

Unlike pectins from other origins, sugar beet pectin (SBP) acts as an emulsifier, a property which has been correlated to its more hydrophobic character and high protein content. In this work, we have investigated the structure of SBP at interfaces b

Atomic force microscopy has been used to image the structure of pectin molecules isolated from unripe tomato and sugar beet tissue. The tomato pectin molecules were found to be extended stiff chains with a weight average contour length of LW = 174 nm
