1. Technology for biocomputational devices based on molecular motors
Sammanfattning : For many multivariable problems there are no efficient algorithms for finding solutions. To this day, conventional electronic computers mainly solve problems in a sequential manner. This sequential operation prevents problem-solving within a reasonable time-frame due to superpolynomial, and sometimes even exponential, time complexities. LÄS MER
2. Nanofabricated Devices Based on Molecular Motors: Biosensing, Computation and Detection
Sammanfattning : The thesis describes the use of molecular motors in nanofabricated devices designed for potential applications in biosensing, computation and detection. We utilize the well-established guiding principles for controlling the motion of actin filaments propelled by myosin molecular motors, and build upon these developments in order to improve upon previously demonstrated techniques, and establish new methods that, we believe, offer significant progress in these fields.

3. Towards Myosin Powered Lab-on-a-Chip Devices
Sammanfattning : Myosins are protein motors that use chemical energy in the form of adenosinetriphosphate to produce force and motion. These molecular motors might be usedto power transportation in Lab-on-a-chip devices where a series of laboratory tasks(e.g. separation, concentration and detection) are performed in one sequence on asmall chip.

4. Unravelling Mechanistic Insights of Eukaryotic Transcriptional Control
Sammanfattning : DNA transcription involves the association of multiple proteins with DNA to convert the genetic information into messenger-RNA transcripts, which later will be translated into proteins. Con-trolled regulation of transcription is imperative for preserving the healthy and homeostatic state of cells. LÄS MER
5. Methods for performance characterization of artificial molecular motors
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis work is to characterize artificial biomolecular motors, specifically the Lawnmower, a motor based on the burn bridges mechanism, and the Tumbleweed, a protein motor that employs ligand specific DNA-proteins binding to step along DNA. An overview of their operational principles is given, and initial results of our studies are presented, along with a review of currently available methods to characterize artificial molecular motors.
