Popis: This work presents different applications in progress with the aid of the atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique for biomedical and biotechnological applications, comprising both the acquisition of three-dimensional images and spectroscopic force measurements, in the following systems: first, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-glycosaminoglycans; second, lectins-polysaccharides; third, mycobacterium leprae cellular wall and Vesicular Stomatites Virus (VSV) with fibronectin laminin, and lipidic membranes; fourth, DNA-complex; and fifth, actin, as well as the development of surface functionalizing protocols and image restoration by means of mathematical techniques.
