    Participants:

    Aims:

      1. The dynamics and mechanics of DNA as studied by AFM
      2. Study of RNA-protein interactions
      3. Study of antigen-antibody interactions

    Recent activity:

      The main direction of collaboration work during the 1999:
        - visualization of DNA-protein and RNA-protein complexes
        - biospecific interaction with bacterial cellular wall
      MSU group has supplied ASU partners with newly developed FemtoScan image analysys software.
