Long-range movement of large mechanically interlocked DNA nanostructures

Long-range movement of large mechanically interlocked DNA nanostructures

Rotaxanes are interlocked molecules that can undergo sliding and rotational movements and can be used in artificial molecular machines and motors. Here, Simmel and co-workers show a rigid rotaxane structures consisting of DNA origami subunits that can slide over several hundreds of nanometres.
