Over the last two decades ratchet mechanisms have transformed the understanding and
design of stochastic molecular systems—biological, chemical and physical—in a move away …

Molecular machines lie at the center of living systems by taking a role in all fundamental
processes that constitute life including cell division, cellular trafficking, and macromolecule …

The increasing occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the dwindling antibiotic
research and development pipeline have created a pressing global health crisis. Here, we …

Motion is omnipresent, as is obvious from the artificial machines in the macro-world and the
biomolecular motors in living systems, controlling dynamic behavior along many length …

Molecular motors transform external energy input into directional motions and offer exquisite
precision for nano‐scale manipulations. To make full use of molecular motor capacities, their …

Intercellular calcium waves (ICW) are complex signalling phenomena that control many
essential biological activities, including smooth muscle contraction, vesicle secretion, gene …

Antibiotic resistance is a pressing public health threat. Despite rising resistance, antibiotic
development, especially for Gram-negative bacteria, has stagnated. As the traditional …

Tuning the thermal behavior of light driven molecular motors is fundamentally important for
their future rational design. In many molecular motors thermal ratcheting steps are …

Molecular machines are nanoscale devices capable of performing mechanical works at
molecular level. These systems could be a single molecule or a collection of component …

The optimization of the quantum efficiency of single-molecule light-driven rotary motors
typically relies on chemical modifications. While, in isolated conditions, computational …
