Mixed Langmuir−Blodgett films of behenic acid and glucose
oxidase have been elaborated. The resulting
films have been studied by scanning force microscopy with the
“tapping” mode, from the micrometer scale
to the nanometer scale. The general organization of the mixed film
and the enzymatic quasi 2D crystals
have been observed. Lateral force microscopy, coupled with
topographic data obtained with the contact
mode, has made possible the distinction between enzyme and behenic acid
domains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
