Spatiotemporal Control of Formation of Dynamic Protein Fiber Assemblies via Photophysical Effects of a Focused Laser Beam (Adv. Sci. 40/2026)

Spatiotemporal Control of Formation of Dynamic Protein Fiber Assemblies Highly ordered, dynamic protein fiber assemblies are formed via photophysical effects of a focused laser beam. The fiber assemblies with motor proteins and chemical energy can exhibit various dynamic behaviors such as translational and rotational motions. This laser method with greater spatiotemporal flexibility will provide fundamental insights into the structure-motion relationship of biomolecular assemblies and expand protein bioengineering.
