Historically, mica is the most common substrate utilized for biological AFM. Glass being amorphous, transparent, and optically homogeneous has its own set of advantages over mica and has the potential to broaden the overlap of AFM with techniques that require high quality non-birefringent optical access. The use of silanized glass as an AFM substrates has been reported as a means to fine tune surface chemistry. However, such coatings usually require hours of additional preparation time and can lead to increased surface roughness. In this work, we present a simple technique for preparing borosilicate glass as a substrate for two membrane protein systems: non-crystalline translocons (SecYEG) of the general secretary system from E. coli, and bacteriorhodopsin (BR) from H. salinarum. For both these membrane proteins, quantitative comparisons of the measured protein structures on glass versus mica substrates show agreement. An additional advantage of glass is that lipid coverage is rapid (< 1 minute) and complete (occupying the entire surface). A goal is to study the bacterial export system using recently developed precision measurement techniques such as ultra-stable AFM.
