Powering a DNA origami nanoengine with chemical fuel

Powering a DNA origami nanoengine with chemical fuel

A biohybrid, leaf-spring design of DNA origami functions as a pulsating nanoengine that exploits the DNA-templated RNA transcription mechanism while consuming nucleoside triphosphates as fuel. The nanoengine also drives a nanomechanical follower structure.
