SUMMARY:Using nano-mechanics to explore biological function - Suzy Jarvis\

DESCRIPTION:We have developed various state-of-the-art atomic force micros
 cope techniques including an ultra-low noise system with which we have dem
 onstrated unprecedented resolution (90 pm) and force sensitivity (1 pN) in
  aqueous environments.  These techniques have enabled us to explore a rang
 e of biological systems from well-defined single lipid bilayers through to
  complex natural adhesives deposited by multicellular organisms. I will hi
 ghlight our work at these two extremes of complexity.  \n\n
