Lifetime of bionanodevices: A benchmark

  • C. Brunner, K.H. Ernst, H. Hess, V.Vogel: “Lifetime of biomolecules in hybrid nanodevices”,

Nanotechnology 15, S540 (2004)

(1) Kinesin motors are dimeric proteins undergoing large conformational changes (2) Microtubules are supramolecular assemblies of the protein tubulin, their natural equilibrium between assembly and disassembly is affected by the stabilizing anti-cancer drug taxol (used in our devices)

time [h] # of MTs per FOV Glass cell breaking disassembly

(1) Kinesin motors remain active for at least 1-2 days at room temperature. (2) Microtubules have a lifetime of ~12 hours. (3) The ATP fuel lasts for ~10 days. Microtubules are the weak link! More aggressive stabilization by chemical cross-linking required.
