Abstract:
The atomic force microscope (AFM), an indispensable tool on the field of scientific research of life, has been uesd to study the biomacromolecule rescently. The new progress on hyaluronic acid (HA) and tubular myelin (TM) through the tool vas obvious. Thestudy on super-elementary units of chromatin in the nanometer (nm) scale is a base step for the higher level. AFM provided the possibility of killing viras in physical method, with studying on the effect of the mechanical resonances on living cells. As far as the medicine concerned, basic condition of test in clinic pathodogy has been formed in some fields.
