Can DNA-nanoparticle motors get up to speed with motor proteins?
DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is converted into mechanical motion by biasing the Brownian motion.

Storing and processing memories uses nanoscopic motor proteins called kinesin that move materials around within neurons to ...
The new finding is published in Cell in an article titled, “ SMC motor proteins extrude DNA asymmetrically and can switch directions ,” and is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome ...
As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they serve as the catalysts for virtually every biochemical reaction that occurs in living things.
Combining a premade SMN protein with a Spinraza-like drug (targets SMN2 gene) helped patient-derived motor neurons; potential ...
Scientists have discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make loops into DNA could move in one ...
Spinal muscular atrophy is caused by mutations in the survival motor neurons gene, SMN1. The SMN protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and the nuclear bodies. One hallmark of spinal muscular ...
