In situ velocity control of gliding microtubules with temperature monitoring by fluorescence excitation on a patterned gold thin film
Microtubule (MT) gliding on a kinesin-coated surface is a promising nanoactuator to manipulate nanomaterials in microfluidic environments. However, controllability of motors with respect to velocity, direction, and lifetime has been challenging for engineering purposes. Here, we used fluorescence ex...
