To overcome these limitations, we have developed a number of microfluidic systems into which we can seamlessly integrate a biomolecular motor, kinesin, that transports microtubules by extracting chemical energy from its aqueous working environment. Here we establish that our microfabricated structures, the self-assembly of the bio-derived transducer, and guided, unidirectional transport of microtubules are ideally suited to create engineered arrays for efficiently powering nano- and microscale devices.Bionanotechnology; Kinesin; Microfluidic systems; Molecular motorsEfficient designs for powering microscale devices with nanoscale biomolecular motorsjournal article10.1002/smll.2005001532-s2.0-32044468065
