Study of the desmoplakin protein using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and its interaction with gold nanoclusters using atomic force microscopy

Desmoplakin is a cytolinker protein vital to tissue exposed to shear forces, such as the skin and the heart. This thesis research combines three physical techniques for the study of desmoplakin, namely Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy, Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) and Atomic Forc...
