Exclusion processes and molecular motor dynamics form a vibrant field at the interface of statistical physics and cellular biophysics. At its core, the framework of exclusion processes offers a means ...

Imagine tiny machines, smaller than a virus, spinning inside cancer cells and rewiring their behavior from within. No surgery, no harsh chemicals, just precision at the molecular level. Two ...

Researchers are using molecular motors as a new tool for medical intervention to target and destroy cancer cells. (Nanowerk News) Imagine tiny machines, smaller than a virus, spinning inside cancer ...

Physicists from the Universities of Bayreuth and Grenoble have discovered a new mechanism of cell mobility. Their findings challenge the classical dogma that the molecular motor myosin is essential ...

Biology is full of molecular machines, such as motor proteins and ATP synthase, that operate self-sufficiently through cycles of oxidation and reduction. A team of human chemists at the University of ...

Researchers used a light-driven molecular motor to wind two molecular strands into an interlocked ring structure called a catenane, without forming chemical bonds. (Nanowerk News) Threads or ropes can ...

This Ben Feringa, Jacobus van 't Hoff Distinguished Professor of Molecular Sciences at the Straingh Insitute for Chemistry, University of Groningen (the Netherlands). The first motor molecule was ...
