Biomolecular motor (microtubule (MT)-kinesin) based molecular swarm robots are important due to their applications in cooperative task achievements, while the structural details are still unknown. In this work, high-speed atomic force microscopy was used to observe the MT swarm ring structure at nanometer-level resolution. MTs were observed to pile...
Filamentous microtubules, polymers of the heterodimeric protein tubulins play one of the major roles in the emergent nano-biotechnological devices. To develop the feature of those devices, it is important to understand the function of microtubule in in vitro, hence, the availability of purified αβ-tubulin is required. Additionally, fluorescently la...
Swarm robotics has been attracting much attention in recent years in the field of robotics. This chapter describes a methodology for the construction of molecular swarm robots through precise control of active self-assembly of microtubules (MTs). Detailed protocols are presented for the construction of molecular robots through conjugation of DNA to...
The filamentous cytoskeletal protein microtubule, a polymer of α and β heterodimers of tubulin, plays major roles in intracellular transport as well as in vitro molecular actuation and transportation. Functionalization of tubulin dimers through covalent linkage facilitates utilization of microtubule in the nanobioengineering. Here we present a deta...
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) based polymers are known to exhibit outstanding piezo-, pyro-, ferro-, and dielectric properties owing to their structural β-phase. In this work, the prospect of enhancement of dielectric properties of PVDF and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-hfp) polymers has been explored by increasing their...
Construction of magnetotactic materials is a significant challenge in nanotechnology applications such as nanodevices and nanotransportation. Artificial magnetotactic materials can be designed from magnetotactic bacteria because these bacteria use magnetic nanoparticles for aligning with and moving within magnetic fields. Microtubules are attractiv...
In this study, mesoporous silica (SBA-15) was prepared using pluronic P123 surfactant as the structure-directing template, HCl
as catalyst and tetraethyl orthosilicate as the silica source. SBA-15 prepared were then dried at 110 oC and calcined at different
temperatures (200-700 °C) and were characterized in detail by Fourier transform infrared spe...
