説明
<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>The intracellular cargo delivery performed by kinesin motor proteins can be biomimetically employed to engineer tailor-made artificial nanotransport systems. Kinesin (expressed on an <jats:italic>Escherichia coli</jats:italic> system) and microtubules (obtained from the polymerization of tubulin proteins) were prepared and characterized. We report recent results and explore the aim of the construction of biomotor-based NanoElectroMechanical Systems (NEMS) and their potential applications, e.g. as drug delivery systems.</jats:p>
