Abstract |
DNA-based molecular motors are synthetic analogs of naturally occurring protein motors. Typical DNA walkers are constructed from synthetic short DNA strands and are powered by various free energy changes during hybridization reactions. Due to the constraints set by their small physical dimension and slow kinetics, most DNA walkers are characterized by ensemble measurements that result in averaged kinetics data. Here we present a synthetic DNA walker system that exploits the extraordinary physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and the functionalities of DNA molecules, which enables real-time control and monitoring of single-DNA walkers over an extended period. |
