Description:
A synthetic enzyme built from DNA flips 10 7 lipids per second in biological membranes A synthetic enzyme built from DNA flips 10〈sup〉7〈/sup〉 lipids per second in biological membranes, Published online: 21 June 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-04821-5 Mimicking enzyme function and improving upon it is a challenge facing nanotechnology. Here the authors design a DNA nanostructure that catalyzes the transport of lipids between bilayers at a rate three orders of magnitude higher than biological enzymes.
