In skeletal muscle the activation of phosphorylase b is catalyzed by phosphorylase kinase. Both enzymes occur in vivo as part of a multienzyme complex. The two enzymes have been imaged by atomic force microscopy and the results compared to those previously found by scanning tunneling microscopy. Scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy have been used to view complexes between the activating enzyme phosphorylase kinase and its substrate phosphorylase b. Changes in the size and shape of phosphorylase kinase were observed when it bound phosphorylase b.

D004577 Electron Probe Microanalysis Identification and measurement of ELEMENTS and their location based on the fact that X-RAYS emitted by an element excited by an electron beam have a wavelength characteristic of that element and an intensity related to its concentration. It is performed with an electron microscope fitted with an x-ray spectrometer, in scanning or transmission mode.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D016252 Microscopy, Scanning Tunneling A type of scanning probe microscopy in which a very sharp conducting needle is swept just a few angstroms above the surface of a sample. The tiny tunneling current that flows between the sample and the needle tip is measured, and from this are produced three-dimensional topographs. Due to the poor electron conductivity of most biological samples, thin metal coatings are deposited on the sample.
