MICROSCOPIC DRIVING ELEMENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING IT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To use kinetic energy of a rail protein molecule as a driving source by restraining falling-off of the rail protein molecule from a motor protein molecule array on a track arranged on a base board, and controlling the motional direction. SOLUTION: This microscopic driving element is composed of the motor protein molecule array stuck to a bottom part of a linear track groove arranged on the base board and the rail protein molecule arranged on the array, and has the linear track groove having a side surface formed as a structure for allowing linear motion of the rail protein molecule for moving in the prescribed direction and moving the rail protein molecule in the prescribed direction by checking and reversing the rail protein molecule for moving in the opposite direction of this linear motion.
