Single Molecule Microscopy of Complex Biomolecules

Anggara Group uses low-temperature scanning probe microscopy to unveil structures, dynamics, and properties of complex biomolecules at single molecule level. We seek to understand how molecular structures give rise to physical and biochemical properties, by performing single molecule imaging experiments corroborated by ab initio calculations. In particular we focus on complex biomolecules that are intractable by today’s analytical techniques such as polysaccharides and glycoproteins.


Scope: Use low temperature scanning probe microscopy and electrospray ion beam deposition to image and determine structures of complex glycoconjugates one-molecule-at-a-time.
Fields: Single molecule chemistry, Glycoscience, Physical analytical chemistry.
Techniques: Electrospray ion beam deposition, Scanning tunnelling microscopy, Density functional theory, Nanoelectrospray, Surface science, ab initio molecular dynamics.
