Wrapping of Bio-macromolecules (Dextran, Amylopectin, and Horse Heart Cytochrome c) with Ultrathin Silicate Layer

Abstract
We report a novel visualization technique of linear dextran and dendritic amylopectin structures by means of selective deposition of an ultrathin silicate layer along sugar chains. This technique was also useful for visualizing an isolated cytochrome c molecule.
