Theoretical Proof of Energy Input Helps Design Reliable Synthetic Molecular Machines

Cellular environment is a disorganized space, where the movement and quantity of proteins and molecules are found to be in continuous instability. The performance of a cell can be discovered by predicting the fluctuating depth of a process or protein. These predictions are difficult to pinpoint in the open system of a cell, where everything can appear in a chaotic manner.

Inexpensive Method to Analyze Force Responses of Thousands of Similar Molecules Simultaneously

From the tension of contracting muscle fibers to hydrodynamic stresses within flowing blood, molecules within our bodies are subject to a wide variety of mechanical forces that directly influence their form and function. By analyzing the responses of single molecules under conditions where they experience such forces we can develop a better understanding of many biological processes, and potentially, develop more accurately acting drugs. But up until now experimental analysis of single molecule interactions under force have been expensive, tedious and difficult to perform because it requires use of sophisticated equipment, such as an atomic force microscope or optical tweezers, which only permit analysis of one molecule at a time.

Scientists Provide Accurate Description of van der Waals Forces Between Nanoscale Objects

The dynamics of the solar system and the attraction between celestial bodies, such as the moon and the Earth, are all governed by gravitational forces. Similar to these gravitational forces, attractive forces exist between objects at the nanoscale. These are known as van der Waals forces, which are ever-present in nature and are believed to play a major role in establishing the function, stability, and structure of various systems across the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science.
