In previous work, Dube had shown that HTI can serve as the basis for a molecular motor whose motion can be controlled precisely. In the HTI-based molecular motor, a succession of photo-isomerization ...

F-Type ATP synthase, a catalytic complex of proteins, synthesizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of living cells. A lot of ambiguity exists over the rotational mechanism of this ...

This feature extends its range of application and increases its potential for use in biological and medical contexts. The team has now characterized the dynamics of unidirectional rotation in the HTI ...
