Cross-homo- and cross-heterotactic enthalpic coefficients, [Formula: see text] respectively, were determined at 25 °C, measuring the enthalpies of dilution of ternary aqueous solutions containing two different α-amino acids of the same or different chirality. Differences of about 200–300 J mol−2 kg between cross-homo- and cross-heterotactic coefficients were found, well beyond the experimental uncertainty. The role of the zwitterionic interaction, already proposed to explain the nature of chiral recognition, was strengthened. Key words: α-amino acids, excess enthalpy, chiral recognition.

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is an instrument that can be used to image many samples of interest in biology and medicine. Images of polymerized amino acids, polyalanine and polyphenylalanine demonstrate the potential of the AFM for revealing the structure of molecules. Images of the protein fibrinogen which agree with TEM images demonstrate that the AFM can provide topographical data on larger molecules. Finally, images of DNA suggest the AFM may soon provide an easier and faster technique for DNA sequencing.The AFM consists of a microfabricated SiO2 triangular shaped cantilever with a diamond tip affixed at the elbow to act as a probe. The sample is mounted on a electronically driven piezoelectric crystal. It is then placed in contact with the tip and scanned. The topography of the surface causes minute deflections in the 100 μm long cantilever which are detected using an optical lever.
