Bipedal nanowalker by pure physical mechanisms

Juan Cheng, Sarangapani Sreelatha, Ruizheng Hou +4

Artificial nanowalkers are inspired by biomolecular counterparts from living cells, but remain far from comparable to the latter in design principles. The walkers reported to date…

Directional fidelity of nanoscale motors and particles is limited by the second law of thermodynamics via a universal equality

Zhisong Wang, Ruizheng Hou, Artem Efremov

Directional motion of nanoscale motors and driven particles in an isothermal environment costs a finite amount of energy despite zero work as decreed by the 2nd law, but quantifyin…

Modeling Motility of the Kinesin Dimer from Molecular Properties of Individual Monomers

Dagong Fan, Wenwei Zheng, Ruizheng Hou +2

Conventional kinesin is a homodimeric motor protein that unidirectionally transports organelles along filamentous microtubule (MT) by hydrolyzing ATP molecules. This study shows th…
