Nanoblinker: Brownian motion powered bio-nanomachine for FRET detection of phagocytic phase of apoptosis.
We describe a new type of bio-nanomachine which runs on thermal noise. The machine is solely powered by the random motion of water molecules in its environment and does not ever require re-fuelling. The construct, which is made of DNA and vaccinia virus topoisomerase protein, can detect DNA damage b...
