Resolving structure and mechanical properties at the nanoscale of viruses with frequency modulation atomic force microscopy.

Structural Biology (SB) techniques are particularly successful in solving virus structures. Taking advantage of the symmetries, a heavy averaging on the data of a large number of specimens, results in an accurate determination of the structure of the sample. However, these techniques do not provide...
