Surprise Finding For Stretched DNA

Abstract:
“We believe that our work sheds new light on an old and important problem,” said biophysicist Carlos Bustamante, “and that, in addition to improving our understanding of DNA/protein interactions, it will also have implications in nanotechnology. For example, the DNA molecule might provide the energy to power future nanomotors.”
