Recent developments in optical and scanning probe techniques have enabled significant advances in the characterization and manipulation of single biological molecules. However as yet, many of the existing studies have tended to be performed on well characterized biomolecular systems or systems which themsleves present interesting physical properties themselves, and thus have only started to pride insights into a handful of the many unresolved questions in biological science. It is only through the further collaboration bets scientists in the physical and biological sciences that more complex answers will begin to emerge and the true impact of such approaches on the life-sciences be realised.The proposed summer school will aim to provide a master-class in scanning probe approaches for single biomolecule analysis. We will seek to attract an equal mix of postgraduate students from the physical and biological sciences, who are interested in exploring the potential of such approaches for the study of single molecules. By utilizing an informal workshop style environment the summer school will optimize the interaction of participants with each other and more experienced researchers, thus increasing the potential for the exchange of ideas and collaboration. The summer school will provide an overview of both the experimental and computational approaches for such analysis, whilst also providing a general background/revision of biomolecular properties, structure and related biophysical techniques.Keywords: Scanning Probe Microscopy; Atomic Force Microscopy; Biomdecular Recognition; Senses; Nandechndogy; Surfaces; Surface Probes and Interfaces
