Molecular Motors: Single-Molecule Recordings Made Easy
A fusion protein of kinesin and gelsolin binds a short actin filament which can be visualized using a standard fluorescence microscope. This technique has provided new insight into the mechanism of kinesin action, and in principle it can be extended to allow single-molecule assays of any protein.
متن کاملDNA based molecular motors.
Most of the essential cellular processes such as polymerisation reactions, gene expression and regulation are governed by mechanical processes. Controlled mechanical investigations of these processes are therefore required in order to take our understanding of molecular biology to the next level. Single-molecule manipulation and force spectroscopy have over the last 15 years been developed into...
متن کاملRotary DNA motors.
Many molecular motors move unidirectionally along a DNA strand powered by nucleotide hydrolysis. These motors are multimeric ATPases with more than one hydrolysis site. We present here a model for how these motors generate the requisite force to process along their DNA track. This novel mechanism for force generation is based on a fluctuating electrostatic field driven by nucleotide hydrolysis....
متن کاملAutomatic HVAC Air Recirculation Made Easy with Stepper Motors
This paper highlights the system requirements and operating conditions of automatic air recirculation valves and reviews compatibility of existing actuator types with these requirements. When comparing the available technologies, it becomes clear that air recirculation flap actuators containing a bipolar stepper motor offer key advantages over actuators with other motor types. It is shown how s...
