Here's a very cool paper from @biorxiv-biophys.bsky.social I shared on ResearchHub this week. The authors designed a three-legged motor protein that can walk down DNA in either direction. www.researchhub.com/paper/930685... 🧪 @researchhubf.bsky.social

Innovative design! Curious about its potential applications.

I was curious about the speed of the motor so I asked AI to do some calculations. The step length is about 15 nm and the authors suggest a speed of 10-20 nm is achievable. If you normalize that speed to "body length" it's about 2X faster than a human's walking speed. Not bad.
