Two-stimuli manipulation of a biological motor

Two-stimuli manipulation of a biological motor

<p>Abstract</p> <p>F<sub>1</sub>-ATPase is an enzyme acting as a rotary nano-motor. During catalysis subunits of this enzyme complex rotate relative to other parts of the enzyme. Here we demonstrate that the combination of two input stimuli causes stop of motor rotation...
