Unidirectional rotary motion in achiral molecular motors.
Control of the direction of motion is an essential feature of biological rotary motors and results from the intrinsic chirality of the amino acids from which the motors are made. In synthetic autonomous light-driven rotary motors, point chirality is transferred to helical chirality, and this governs their unidirectional rotation. However, achieving directional rotary motion in an achiral molecu...
متن کاملControlling the speed of rotation in molecular motors. Dramatic acceleration of the rotary motion by structural modification.
Substitution of a 6-membered by a 5-membered ring upper half in the light driven second generation molecular motors resulted in a dramatic increase of the speed of rotation.
متن کاملA self-complexing and self-assembling pillar[5]arene.
A monofunctionalised pillar[5]arene derivative carrying a viologen side chain which exhibits self-complexation in dilute dichloromethane solutions forms supramolecular daisy chain polymers and eventually organogels as its concentration is increased three-fold over the range from 0.1 to 100 mM.
متن کاملDNA methylation: A molecular lock
In mammals, the promoters of expressed genes are generally unmethylated, whereas those of genes that are not expressed are methylated. Two recent papers help to explain the mechanism by which methylation modulates gene expression.
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics and self-organization of rotary molecular motor ensembles.
The coupled nonlinear dynamics of rotary motor ensembles and an embedding fluid medium are simulated on the basis of Navier-Stokes equations. The model description considers space-dependent rotation of motors and a spatially inhomogeneous motor distribution as well as spatial fluctuations in molecular properties. The mutual influence of motor rotations and fluid dynamics as well as spatial inho...
