Motor Molecule Long Term Survival in Motility Devices

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA473607 | Open PDF

Abstract:

To evaluate survival of components of a smart dust sensor suitable for field deployment after cryoprotection or lyophilization and long term storage. The operational detection system employs molecular motors, particularly kinesins, to move microtubules through a series of chambers. Particularly, to evaluate the stability of assembled devices i.e. surface adsorbed kinesin and Ab-MTs following lyophilization.
