Dynamics of bacteriorhodopsin 2D crystal observed by high-speed atomic force microscopy.

We have used high-speed atomic force microscopy to study the dynamics of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) molecules at the free interface of the crystalline phase that occurs naturally in purple membrane. Our results reveal temporal fluctuations at the crystal edges arising from the association and dissociati...
