(Nanowerk News) DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical ...

Cytoplasmic dynein is a vital microtubule-based motor protein that drives retrograde intracellular transport, supporting essential cellular functions ranging from organelle positioning to cell ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

The cell cytoskeleton is modulated by motor proteins, known as dyneins, that generate force and movement on microtubules to control a wealth of biological processes, including motility, cell division, ...

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science aimed to level out the speed difference between artificial motors and motor proteins by improving the nanoscale artificial motor using their ...

Protein sequencing presents different challenges than nucleic acid sequencing, meaning that proteomics has yet to benefit as much as genomics from the next-generation sequencing revolution. However, ...

The kinesin-2 motor protein uses a hook-like adaptor and cargo-binding (HAC) domain to recognize and transport cargo along microtubule highways, revealing a cellular logistics system critical for ...
