Thermally driven molecular linear motors: a molecular dynamics study.
We conduct molecular dynamics simulations of a molecular linear motor consisting of coaxial carbon nanotubes with a long outer carbon nanotube confining and guiding the motion of an inner short, capsulelike nanotube. The simulations indicate that the motion of the capsule can be controlled by thermophoretic forces induced by thermal gradients. The simulations find large terminal velocities of 1...
متن کاملBidirectional cooperative motion of molecular motors.
Recently, in a beautiful set of experiments, it has been shown that a Ncd mutant, NK11, which lacks directionality in its individual motion, was able to exhibit a new kind of directed motion in motility assays (Endow, S. A. & Higuchi, H. (2000) Nature (London) 406, 913-916): the filaments keep a given velocity for a while and then suddenly move in the opposite direction with similar velocity. W...
متن کاملThird-Generation Light-Driven Symmetric Molecular Motors
Symmetric molecular motors based on two overcrowded alkenes with a notable absence of a stereogenic center show potential to function as novel mechanical systems in the development of more advanced nanomachines offering controlled motion over surfaces. Elucidation of the key parameters and limitations of these third-generation motors is essential for the design of optimized molecular machines b...
متن کاملLight-driven altitudinal molecular motors on surfaces.
A Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition was used to construct a monolayer of an altitudinal molecular motor on quartz and silicon substrates, which represents the fastest light-driven molecular motor, to date, grafted to a solid surface.
متن کاملUnidirectional 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...
