Detection and localization of single molecular recognition events using atomic force microscopy
- P. Hinterdorfer, Y. Dufrêne
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Nature Methods
- 1 May 2006
Because of its piconewton force sensitivity and nanometer positional accuracy, the atomic force microscope (AFM) has emerged as a powerful tool for exploring the forces and the dynamics of the… Expand
Nanoscale mapping of the elasticity of microbial cells by atomic force microscopy
- A. Touhami, B. Nysten, Y. Dufrêne
- Materials Science
- 3 May 2003
Single microbial cells can show important local variations of elasticity due to the complex, anisotropic composition of their walls. An example of this is the yeast during cell division, where chitin… Expand
Force probing surfaces of living cells to molecular resolution.
- D. Müller, J. Helenius, D. Alsteens, Y. Dufrêne
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Nature chemical biology
- 1 June 2009
Biological processes rely on molecular interactions that can be directly measured using force spectroscopy techniques. Here we review how atomic force microscopy can be applied to force probe… Expand
Scanning probe microscopy.

- Biology, Medicine
- Applied and Environmental Microbiology
- 3 April 2009
ABSTRACT Cell surface polysaccharides have an established role as virulence factors in human bacterial pathogens. Less documented are the biosynthesis and biological functions of surface… Expand
Cell Surface of Lactococcus lactis Is Covered by a Protective Polysaccharide Pellicle*
- Marie-Pierre Chapot-Chartier, E. Vinogradov, +10 authors Saulius Kulakauskas
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 27 January 2010
In Gram-positive bacteria, the functional role of surface polysaccharides (PS) that are not of capsular nature remains poorly understood. Here, we report the presence of a novel cell wall PS pellicle… Expand
Atomic force microscopy, a powerful tool in microbiology.
- Y. Dufrêne
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of bacteriology
- 1 October 2002
Understanding the functions of microbial cell surfaces requires knowledge of their structural and physical properties. Electron microscopy has long been recognized as a key technique in microbiology… Expand

- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Microbiology
- 1 September 2008
At the cross-roads of nanoscience and microbiology, the nanoscale analysis of microbial cells using atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an exciting, rapidly evolving research field. Over the past… Expand
Force-induced formation and propagation of adhesion nanodomains in living fungal cells
- D. Alsteens, M. C. García, P. Lipke, Y. Dufrêne
- Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 8 November 2010
Understanding how cell adhesion proteins form adhesion domains is a key challenge in cell biology. Here, we use single-molecule atomic force microscopy (AFM) to demonstrate the force-induced… Expand
Application of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to microorganisms
- P. Rouxhet, N. Mozes, Pascal Dengis, Y. Dufrêne, P. Gerin, M. Genet
- Chemistry
