Scanning near-field IR microscopy of proteins in lipid bilayers
Literature Information
Fouad Ballout, Erik Bründermann, Martina Havenith
We use infrared near-field microscopy to chemically map the morphology of biological matrices. The investigated sample is built up from surface-tethered membrane proteins (cytochrome c oxidase) reconstituted in a lipid bilayer. We have carried out infrared near-field measurements in the frequency range between 1600 and 1800 cm−1. By simultaneously recording the topography and chemical fingerprint of the protein-tethered lipid bilayer with a lateral resolution of 80 nm × 80 nm, we were able to probe locally the chemical signature of this membrane and to provide a local map of its surface morphology.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
