Stereo Darkfield Interferometry : a versatile localization method for subnanometer force spectroscopy of single molecules and 3D-tracking of single cells

Martin Rieu, Thibault Vieille, Gaël Radou +5

Super-resolutive 3D tracking, such as PSF engineering or evanescent field imaging has long been used to track microparticles and to enhance the throughput of single molecules force…

Rolling and ageing in T-ramp soft adhesion

Giuseppe Boniello, Christophe Tribet, Emmanuelle Marie +2

Immediately before adsorption to a horizontal substrate, sinking polymer-coated colloids can undergo a complex sequence of landing, jumping, crawling and rolling events. Using vide…

Torque determination on DNA with magnetic tweezers

Francesco Mosconi, Jean-François Allemand, David Bensimon +1

We deduced the torque applied on a single stretched and twisted DNA by integrating with respect to force the change in the molecule's extension as it is coiled. While consistent wi…

Structural plasticity of single chromatin fibers revealed by torsional manipulation

Aurelien Bancaud, Natalia Conde e Silva, Maria Barbi +8

Magnetic tweezers are used to study the mechanical response under torsion of single nucleosome arrays reconstituted on tandem repeats of 5S positioning sequences. Regular arrays ar…

Wringing out DNA

Timothee Lionnet, Sylvain Joubaud, Richard Lavery +2

The chiral nature of DNA plays a crucial role in cellular processes. Here we use magnetic tweezers to explore one of the signatures of this chirality, the coupling between stretch…
