Graphical Abstract

Thumbnail image of graphical abstract

Molekularer Güterzug: Polysaccharide (β-1,3-Glucane) können verschiedene Nanomaterialien einschließen (z. B. einwandige Kohlenstoffnanoröhren) und entlang einer Schiene (F-Actin) transportieren, wobei anhängende Myosin-Einheiten als Räder und molekulare Motoren wirken (siehe Bild). Dieses künstliche System hat ein Transportsystem zum Vorbild, das auf der Bewegung von Vesikeln in biologischen Zellen beruht.
