Integration of Motor Proteins – Towards an ATP Fueled Soft Actuator
We present a soft bio-machine constructed from biological motors (actin/myosin). We have found that chemically cross-linked polymer-actin complex gel filaments can move on myosin coated surfaces with a velocity as high as that of native Factin, by coupling to ATP hydrolysis. Additionally, it is show...
