Atomic Force Microscopy for Collagen-Based Nanobiomaterials

Figure 1

(a) The collagen structure from amino acid sequence to fibril. In this panel the amino acid sequence, the collagen molecule, the packing of collagen molecules, and the structure of a collagen fibril are presented. (b) A collagen fiber D-band periodicity from a collagen thin film imaged using Atomic Force Microscope (CPII Veeco-Bruker Microscope) in tapping mode.
