抄録

Motor protein molecules such as heavy meromyosin (HMM), one of the major components of skeletal muscle, were arranged linearly on a mechanically deposited fluoropolymer thin film substrate in order to regulate the direction of movement generated by the motor protein. The fluoropolymer film consisted of many linear parallel ridges whose heights and widths were 10 to 20 nm and 10 to 100 nm, respectively. The fluoropolymer ridges adsorbed HMM molecules that were applied onto the film. Actin filaments labeled with rhodamine-phalloidin were observed under a fluorescence microscope moving linearly on the HMM-coated ridges. The observation indicates that HMM molecules were aligned on the fluoropolymer ridges while retaining their function. The velocity of actin movement was measured in this system.
