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…
Role of directional fidelity in multiple extreme performance of F1-ATPase motor
Ruizheng Hou, Zhisong Wang
Quantitative understanding of the best possible performance of nanomotors allowed by physical laws pertains to study of nanomotors from biology as well as nanotechnology. Biologica…
Influence of Local and Residual Structures on the Scaling Behavior and Dimensions of Unfolded Proteins
Zhisong Wang, Kevin W. Plaxco, Dmitrii E. Makarov
Although recent spectroscopic studies of chemically denatured proteins hint at significant nonrandom residual structure, the results of extensive small angle X-ray scattering studi…
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…
Kinesin Is an Evolutionarily Fine-Tuned Molecular Ratchet-and-Pawl Device of Decisively Locked Direction
Zhisong Wang, Min Feng, Wenwei Zheng +1
Conventional kinesin is a dimeric motor protein that transports membranous organelles toward the plus-end of microtubules (MTs). Individual kinesin dimers show steadfast directiona…
The intrinsic load-resisting capacity of kinesin
Wenwei Zheng, Dagong Fan, Min Feng +1
Conventional kinesin is a homodimeric motor protein that is capable of walking unidirectionally along a cytoskeletal filament. While previous experiments indicated unyielding unidi…
