Thus far, only high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) can visualize them. The molecular movies identify the alignment of IDRs and ordered regions in an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) and show undulation motion of the IDRs. The visualized tail-like structures contain the information of mechanical properties of the IDRs. Here, we describe methods of HS-AFM visualization of IDPs and methods of analyzing the obtained images to characterize IDRs. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media New York., 金沢大学ナノ生命科学研究所 / 金沢大学理工研究域数物科学系}, pages = {57--69}, title = {Visualization of mobility by atomic force microscopy}, volume = {896}, year = {2012} }
