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...

Construction of a chassis for a tripartite protein-based molecular motor (2017)
Journal Article
Small, L. S., Bruning, M., Thomson, A. R., Boyle, A. L., Davies, R. B., Curmi, P. M., …Bromley, E. H. (2017). Construction of a chassis for a tripartite protein-based molecular motor. ACS Synthetic Biology, 6(6), 1096-1102. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssynbio.7b00037

Improving our understanding of biological motors, both to fully comprehend their activities in vital processes, and to exploit their impressive abilities for use in bionanotechnology, is highly desirable. One means of understanding these systems is t... Read More about Construction of a chassis for a tripartite protein-based molecular motor.
