Synthetic molecular motors and mechanical machines.
The widespread use of controlled molecular-level motion in key natural processes suggests that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of synthetic molecular systems, which by and large rely upon electronic and chemical effects to carry out their functions, and the machines of the macroscopic world, which utilize the synchronized movements of smaller parts ...
متن کاملUltrametricity in Protein Folding Dynamics.
The free energy of the transition state (TS) between two nodes of an ergodic Markov state model (MSM) can be obtained from the minimum cut, which is the set of edges that has the smallest sum of the flow capacities among all the possible cuts separating the two nodes. Here, we first show that the free energy of the TS is an ultrametric distance. The ultrametric property offers a way to simplify...
متن کاملAdvances Towards Synthetic Machines at the Molecular and Nanoscale Level
The fabrication of increasingly smaller machines to the nanometer scale can be achieved by either a "top-down" or "bottom-up" approach. While the former is reaching its limits of resolution, the latter is showing promise for the assembly of molecular components, in a comparable approach to natural systems, to produce functioning ensembles in a controlled and predetermined manner. In this review...

متن کاملDeviations from Ultrametricity in Phage Protein Distances
Distances in biological databases are known not to be ultrametric. Deviations from ultrametricity can however reveal useful features of biodata. In the present study we examine deviations from ultrametricity of the distances between known phage proteins quantified in two senses: (1) the failure of triangles to be isosceles and (2) failure of every point to be the center of any sphere in which i...
