First Motor Discovered With Revolution Motion in a Virus-Killing Bacteria, ACS Nano Reveals

Scientists have cracked a 35-year-old mystery about the workings of the natural motors that are serving as models for development of a futuristic genre of synthetic nanomotors that pump therapeutic DNA, RNA or drugs into individual diseased cells. Their report revealing the innermost mechanisms of these nanomotors in a bacteria-killing virus - and a new way to move DNA through cells - is published online in the journal ACS Nano.
