Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Accurate spatial determination of binding sites on biological samples is crucial across various life science disciplines.
  • Dynamic recognition imaging, particularly simultaneous topography and recognition (TREC) imaging, has emerged as a powerful technique in biophysical research over the last five years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • This review aims to describe the fundamental principles of TREC imaging.
  • The review also highlights recent applications of TREC imaging, with a specific focus on endothelial cells.

Main Methods:

  • TREC imaging integrates topographical imaging of receptor molecules with molecular recognition capabilities.
  • Molecular recognition is achieved by immobilizing cognate ligands onto an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip, connected via a flexible tether.
