Small, L., Zuckermann, M., Sessions, R., Curmi, P., Linke, H., Forde, N., & Bromley, E. (2019). The Bar-Hinge Motor: A synthetic protein design exploiting conformational switching to achieve directional motility. New Journal of Physics, 21, Article 013002. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/aaf3ca

One challenge to synthetic biology is to design functional machines from natural building blocks, from individual amino acids up to larger motifs such as the coiled coil. Here we investigate a novel bipedal motor concept, the Bar-Hinge Motor (BHM), a...
