The long-term goal of this futuristic thrust area is to develop novel biomolecular machine components that can be assembled to form nanodevices that can function with multiple degrees of freedom. These devices will be designed to apply forces and manipulate objects in the nanoworld, and to travel successfully in vivo.
Our initial goals have been to identify and characterize peptides that can be used as motors and grippers, and to study the interface of these peptide components with other molecular elements such as DNA joints and rigid carbon-nanotube links.
