报告摘要:

A fundamental design rule that nature has developed for biological machines is the intimate correlation between motion and function. One class of biological machines is molecular motors in living cells, which directly convert chemical energy into mechanical work. They coexist in every eukaryotic cell, but differ in their types of motion, the filaments they bind to, the cargos they carry, as well as the work they perform. Such natural structures offer inspiration and blueprints for constructing DNA-assembled artificial systems, which mimic their functionality. in this talk, I will discuss DNA nanostructures with distinct motion and functions that interrogate synthetic cells. The interplay between the dynamic behavior of DNA nanostructures and synthetic cells gives rise to peculiar phenomena, which may rejuvenate the field of synthetic biology and greatly enhance the technological value of DNA nanotechnology.
