Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful tool to observe the dynamics of biologically relevant processes at aqueous interfaces with high spatial resolution. Here, we describe imaging protocols to characterize the effects of peptide materials on phospholipid membranes in solution by AFM. These protocols can be used to determine the mechanism and kinetics of membrane-associated activities at the nanoscale.}, keywords = {Antimicrobial peptides, Atomic force microscopy, Peptide materials, Phospholipid membranes, Supported lipid bilayers} }
