DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.4c04294 In a study recently published in the journal Nano Letters, researchers at Kanazawa University Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) used frequency-modulated atomic force microscopy to examine the inner surfaces of microtubules (MTs) and microtubules. We revealed the submolecular structure of the…
