Those binding differences could drive changes in cell phenotype and affect processes such as cell differentiation. But they are now difficult to study.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cHaving a device like this will allow us to interrogate what the specific binding sites are and what the specific binding triggers are,\u201d Barker explained. \u201cRight now, we know very little about this area when it comes to protein biochemistry.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EScientists have been able to study how single cells or proteins are affected by mechanical forces, but their activity can vary considerably from cell-to-cell and among molecules. The new tweezers, which are built using nanolithography, can facilitate studying thousands or more cells and proteins in aggregate. The researchers are currently testing prototype 15 by 15 arrays which they believe could be scaled up.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cFor me, it\u2019s not sufficient to pull and hold onto a single protein,\u201d said Barker. \u201cI have to pull and hold onto tens of thousands of proteins to really use the technologies we have to develop molecular probes.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAt the center of the tweezers are 2.8- micron polystyrene microbeads that contain superparamagnetic nanoparticles. The tiny beads are engineered to adhere to a sample being studied. That sample is attached to a bead on one side, and to a magnetic pad on the other. The magnet draws the bead toward it, while an electrophoretic force created by current flowing through a gold wiring pattern pushes the bead away.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe device simultaneously pushes and pulls on the same particle,\u201d Barker explained. \u201cThis allows us to hold the sample at a very specific position above the magnet.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBecause the forces can be varied, the tweezers can be used to study structures of widely different size scales, from protein molecules to cells \u2013 a size difference of approximately a thousand times, noted \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.bme.gatech.edu\/facultystaff\/faculty_record.php?id=152\u0022\u003EWilbur Lam\u003C\/a\u003E, an assistant professor in the Coulter Department. Absolute forces in the nano-Newton range applied by the two sources overcome the much smaller effects of Brownian motion and thermal energy, allowing the tweezers to hold the cells or molecules without constant adjustment.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe are basically leveraging microchip technology that has been developed by electrical and mechanical engineers,\u201d Lam noted. \u201cWe are able to leverage these very tiny features that enable us to create a very sharp electrical field on one end against an opposing short magnetic field. Because there are two ways of controlling it, we have tight resolution and can get to many different scales.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a proof of principle for the system, the researchers demonstrated its ability to distinguish between antigen binding to loaded magnetic beads coated with different antibodies. When a sufficient upward force is applied, non-specific antibody coated beads are displaced from the antigen-coated device surface, while beads coated with the specific antibody are more strongly attracted to the surface and retained on it.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBarker and Lam began working together on the tweezers three years ago when they realized they had similar interests in studying the effects of mechanical action on different biological systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t be surprised that biology can be dictated by physical parameters,\u201d Lam explained. \u201cEverything has to obey the laws of physics, and mechanics gets to the heart of that.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELam\u2019s interest is at the cellular scale, specifically in blood cells.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cBlood cells also respond differently, biologically, when you squeeze them and when you stretch them,\u201d he said. \u201cFor instance, we have learned that mechanics has a lot to do with atherosclerosis, but the systems we currently have for studying this mechanism can only look at single-cell events.
