摘要
The power of life: An autonomous DNA nanomotor powered by an RNA-cleaving DNA enzyme (see figure) has been constructed that works in the same way as cellular protein motors: it continuously extracts chemical energy from fuel molecules to power mechanical motions. The fuel for the DNA nanomotor is the RNA substrate of the DNA enzyme.
