Operating principles of rotary molecular motors: differences between F1 and V1 motors
Among the many types of bioenergy-transducing machineries, F- and V-ATPases are unique bio- and nano-molecular rotary motors. The rotational catalysis of F1-ATPase has been investigated in detail, and molecular mechanisms have been proposed based on the crystal structures of the complex and on extensive single-molecule rotational observations. Recently, we obtained crystal structures of bacteri...
متن کاملApproaches to rotary molecular motors*
Interest has recently intensified in the search for molecular motors and actuators capable of delivering useful work to nanodevices under the control of electrochemical or photochemical power sources. While many of these man-made molecular machines are designed to deliver rectilinear motion, very few are proposed for the controlled delivery of rotary motion on the time scale characteristic of i...
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...
متن کاملNovel Rotary Inchworm Motors
In this paper, we will demonstrate a family of novel Rotary Inchworm motors using four gap-closing actuators (GCA). Design issues, fabrication process, and expected operation of several rotary motors will be described. The motor is to be batch fabricated using Seth Hollers Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) plus hinges process. An output torque of the order of nN-m with a torque density in the range o...
متن کاملRotary protein motors.
Three protein motors have been unambiguously identified as rotary engines: the bacterial flagellar motor and the two motors that constitute ATP synthase (F(0)F(1) ATPase). Of these, the bacterial flagellar motor and F(0) motors derive their energy from a transmembrane ion-motive force, whereas the F(1) motor is driven by ATP hydrolysis. Here, we review the current understanding of how these pro...
