Motor Molecule Long Term Survival in Motility Devices

Abstract

To evaluate survival of components of a "smart dust sensor" suitable for field deployment after cryoprotection or lyophilization and long term storage. The operational detection system employs molecular motors, particularly kinesins, to move microtubules through a series of chambers. Particularly, to evaluate the stability of assembled devices (i.e. surface adsorbed kinesin and Ab-MTs) following lyophilization.
