One-way rotation of a molecule-rotor driven by a shot noise.
The shot noise of a tunneling current passing through a molecule-motor can sustain a one-way rotation when populating the molecular excited states by tunneling inelastic excitations. We demonstrate that a ratchet-like ground state rotation potential energy curve is not necessary for the rotation to occur. A relative shift in energy difference between the maxima of this ground state and the mini...
متن کاملBrønsted slopes based on single-molecule imaging data help to unveil the chemically coupled rotation in F1-ATPase.
F1-ATPase, the rotary motor that powers most of the processes in living cells, has challenged scientists, experimentalists, and theoreticians alike to gain deeper understanding of its action. The work on F1 for more than two decades encompasses elucidation of the complex 3D structure (1) and the analysis of the thermodynamics and kinetics of the chemical steps (2) that led to the revelation of ...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Imaging With One Color Fluorescence.
Single-molecule fluorescence imaging is a powerful tool that enables real-time observation of DNA-protein or RNA-protein interactions with a nanometer precision. Here, we provide a detailed procedure for a previously developed single-molecule fluorescence method, termed "single-molecule protein-induced fluorescence enhancement" (smPIFE). While smFRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) requires...
متن کاملSingle-molecule studies of DNA and RNA four-way junctions.
Branched helical junctions are common in nucleic acids. In DNA, the four-way junction (Holliday junction) is an essential intermediate in homologous recombination and is a highly dynamic structure, capable of stacking conformer transitions and branch migration. Our single-molecule fluorescence studies provide unique insight into the energy landscape of Holliday junctions by visualizing these pr...
متن کاملRobust rotation of rotor in a thermally driven nanomotor
In the fabrication of a thermally driven rotary nanomotor with the dimension of a few nanometers, fabrication and control precision may have great influence on rotor's stability of rotational frequency (SRF). To investigate effects of uncertainty of some major factors including temperature, tube length, axial distance between tubes, diameter of tubes and the inward radial deviation (IRD) of ato...
