Studyingbiological systems at the micro and nanoscale can give important information about cellular processes responsible for respiration, reproduction and signalling. But, while there are many methods for performing measurements at a surface, techniques for measuring interactions between biomolecules in solution are limited. In fact, current methods for measuring biomolecular interactions in solution, such as fluorescent labelling require complex chemistry, and such methods give only limited biophysical data on the molecular mechanics of any interaction.
