An Autonomous and Controllable Light-Driven DNA Walking Device

摘要

The development of nanotechnology has been largely inspired by the biological world. The complex, but well-organized, living system hosts an array of molecular-sized machines responsible for information processing, structure building and, sometimes, movement. Molecular motors are tiny protein machines that power motion in the cellular world, for example, myosins moving on actin filaments and dyneins or kinesins walking along microtubule tracks.
