Light-activated molecular motor drives drug delivery

BY JAMES URQUHART 11 JULY 2023 A new drug delivery technique uses synthetic molecular motors to release a drug when activated by visible light. The proof-of-principle delivery mechanism, which was tested on cultured lung cancer cells, could enable a non-invasive, highly controlled and targeted way to activate drugs inside the body. Ben Feringa at the University...

Biophysicists find ‘extra’ component in molecular motor

MOSCOW INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have discovered an additional component in ATP synthase, a molecular machine that produces the energy-conserving compound in all cellular organisms. The new unique features of the ATP synthase structure are described in detail in a paper in Scientific Reports. In...
