An electric molecular motor. [PDF]
Nature, 2023 AbstractMacroscopic electric motors continue to have a large impact on almost every aspect of modern society. Consequently, the effort towards developing molecular motors1–3 that can be driven by electricity could not be more timely. Here we describe an electric molecular motor based on a [3]catenane4,5, in which two cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene)6 ...

Active Mechanical Threading by a Molecular Motor** [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie - International Edition, 2022 Molecular motors transform external energy input into directional motions and offer exquisite precision for nano‐scale manipulations. To make full use of molecular motor capacities, their directional motions need to be transmitted and used for powering ...

The Mechanochemistry of Molecular Motors [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2000 A theory of molecular motors is presented that explains how the energy released in single chemical reactions can generate mechanical motion and force. In the simplest case the fluctuating movements of a motor enzyme are well described by a diffusion process on a two-dimensional potential energy surface, where one dimension is a chemical reaction ...
