Abstract
AbstractTubulin self‐assembles in vitro in highly ordered polymorphic protein structures such as tubules or rings, which can be further utilized as a template to control the deposition of metal nanoparticles or for continuous metal coatings. Template‐directed alignment of particles or a continuous coverage is provided by metal salt incubation followed by a subsequent reduction procedure. We exploited field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with different electron detectors (inlens‐SE, BSE, TE) for morphological characterization, and an EDX unit for elemental analysis. Scanning force microscopy (SFM) in tapping mode (TM) was applied to image structural peculiarities and to measure the height of the biomolecular assemblies. We address tip‐surface interactions, the influence of fixation and cantilever types. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
