Roop Mallik: From machines to molecular motors
Roop Mallik studies how molecular motors and lipids interact to drive intracellular transport.
متن کاملKinesin motors as molecular machines.
Molecular motor proteins, fueled by energy from ATP hydrolysis, move along actin filaments or microtubules, performing work in the cell. The kinesin microtubule motors transport vesicles or organelles, assemble bipolar spindles or depolymerize microtubules, functioning in basic cellular processes. The mechanism by which motor proteins convert energy from ATP hydrolysis into work is likely to di...
متن کاملSynthetic molecular motors and mechanical machines.
The widespread use of controlled molecular-level motion in key natural processes suggests that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of synthetic molecular systems, which by and large rely upon electronic and chemical effects to carry out their functions, and the machines of the macroscopic world, which utilize the synchronized movements of smaller parts ...
متن کاملRotaxanes and catenanes as prototypes of molecular machines and motors*
In the course of the last 20 years, our view on rotaxanes and catenanes has completely changed. Copper(I)-templated strategies, in particular, have allowed us to prepare catenanes on a real preparative scale, in a few chemical steps from commercially available compounds. A particularly significant improvement was the introduction of the recently developed ring-closing metathesis reaction, using...
متن کاملRotaxane- and catenane-based molecular machines and motors
The concept of (macroscopic) machine can be extended to the molecular level. A molecular machine can be defined as an assembly of a discrete number of molecular components (i.e., a supramolecular system) in which the component parts can display changes in their relative positions as a result of some external stimulus. Rotaxanes and catenanes are promising systems for the construction of artific...
