Out today in @natchem.nature.com 😃 Huakui, @stefanborsley.bsky.social @benjaminoacid.bsky.social & co illustrate why catalysis-driven motors (like motor proteins) can't use designs based on light-driven motors or molecules-that-rotate-through-multi-reaction-sequences www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The structural anisotropy necessary for the powered directional rotation of chemically fuelled molecular motors had previously been provided by chiral fuels or enzymes. Now it has been shown that asym...
