Single-Molecule Structure and Topology of Kinetoplast DNA Networks
Pinyao He, Allard J. Katan, Luca Tubiana +2
The Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) is a two-dimensional Olympic-ring-like network of mutually linked 2.5 kb-long DNA minicircles found in certain parasites called Trypanosomes. Understandi…
Sustained unidirectional rotation of a self-organized DNA rotor on a nanopore
Xin Shi, Anna-Katharina Pumm, Jonas Isensee +6
Flow-driven rotary motors drive functional processes in human society such as windmills and water wheels. Although examples of such rotary motors also feature prominently in cell b…
A DNA turbine powered by a transmembrane potential across a nanopore
Xin Shi, Anna-Katharina Pumm, Christopher Maffeo +8
Rotary motors play key roles in energy transduction, from macroscale windmills to nanoscale turbines such as ATP synthase in cells. Despite our capabilities to construct engines at…
Bridging scales in a multiscale pattern-forming system
Laeschkir Würthner, Fridtjof Brauns, Grzegorz Pawlik +4
Self-organized pattern formation is vital for many biological processes. Reaction-diffusion models have advanced our understanding of how biological systems develop spatial structu…
Nanopores -- a Versatile Tool to Study Protein Dynamics
Sonja Schmid, Cees Dekker
Proteins are the active working horses in our body. These biomolecules perform all vital cellular functions from DNA replication and general biosynthesis to metabolic signaling and…
Palladium Zero-Mode Waveguides for Optical Single Molecule Detection with Nanopores
Nils Klughammer, Cees Dekker
Holes in metal films block any transmitting light if the wavelength is much larger than the hole diameter, establishing such nanopores as so-called Zero Mode Waveguides (ZMWs). Mol…
