Enzymes as a power source for nanofabricated devices

摘要: A nanoscale engineered system includes the integration of at least one F1-ATPase molecular motor with a nano-electro-mechanical (NEMS). The resultant functional hybrid organic/inorganic nanomechanical provides ability to move nanotechnology into medical and physiologic applications. accurately precisely position orient individual proteins on substrate is presented. Motive power for systems disclosed provided through genetic expression motor, which utilizes ATP as chemical energy source. In addition, device capable being fuelled light energy. NEMS can be controlled by an 'on/off' switch genetically F1-ATPase. consists or more silicon based mechanical devices operating in liquid environments performing variety functions. motors are used pump fluids open close valves microfluidic devices, well provide drives motive devices.
