Similarly, microscopic cells are subjected to forces acting on them. Scientists are finding out that those forces are tremendously important to the form and function of cells. How? One method uses an instrument known as optical tweezers to shine light on those forces. Literally! A highly focused laser beam has a large electric field gradient at its narrowest point, the beam waist. Due to the electric field gradient, molecules that are within the beam waist are subjected to a force, which can be used to move molecules. Using two laser beams, molecules at opposite ends of a cell can be pulled apart, creating a tiny force that deforms the cell. How tiny? These forces can be as small as several trillionths of a pound. Like a rubber band, cells experience a restoring force when they are deformed, they relax to their original shape. Monitoring the relaxation of deformed cells imparts important information about the elastic properties of the cell. These experiments truly stretch the limits of cell science.

Science 4 March 2005: Vol. 307. no. 5714, p. 1409 … However, subsequent experiments done after the paper appeared suggested that the sawtooth pattern corresponds to the unzipping of the two strands of DNA (2). We now believe that nicks that arose indiscriminately along the DNA molecules from normal pipetting allowed interior biotin and Digoxigenin derivitization of the DNA tether. The combination of interior and terminal labels most likely generated a pulling geometry between the beads that led to the denaturation of the DNA. To test these ideas, we have now performed an extensive set of experiments. (2) Bockelmann et al., Biophysical Journal (2002) Why was the work of Bockelmann et al. missed?
