Phys.org  July 21, 2022 It has been quite difficult to recreate molecular motors with mechanical properties roughly similar to those of natural molecular motors like ATP synthase. An international team of researchers (Germany, UK) used the DNA origami method to assemble the motor from DNA molecules which was invented in 2006. The new nanomotor made of DNA material consists of three components: base, rotor arm, and platform. The base is fixed to a glass plate in solution via chemical bonds on a glass plate, the rotor arm is mounted on the base so that it can rotate, and the platform […]
