A current challenge in the field of life sciences is to decipher, in their native environment, the functional activation of cell surface receptors upon binding of complex ligands. Lack of suitable nanoscopic methods has hampered our ability to meet this challenge in an experimental manner. Here, we use for the first time the interplay between atomic force microscopy, steered molecular dynamics and functional assays to elucidate the complex ligand-bi...
