High-speed atomic force microscopy highlights new molecular mechanism of daptomycin action

High-speed atomic force imaging allows for the visualisation of molecular‐level activity in real-time. Here, the authors use HS-AFM to image the activity of an antimicrobial peptide on a membrane and are able to detect previously unknown molecular mechanisms behind its action.
