Here is the world’s first microscopic action movie, shot by researchers in Japan

ATPase is one of biota ’s most important biologic motors , and now it ’s asterisk in its very own molecule - scale natural action movie .

grant to sciencebase ’s David Bradley :

research worker in Japan have used high - speed nuclear power microscopy ( AFM ) to buck an action movie of the biological molecular motor ATPase … The enzyme has two rotating component , but until now only disco biscuit - ray crystallography and similar “ still ” fancy technique had been used to visualise how it works . The microscopy work allow for more grounds of how changes in conformation of the subunits of the enzyme generate the required revolution to grow ATP .

you may record more about ATPase , and how movies like this one can provide scientists with a much clearer horizon of the inner working of nature ’s molecular machines , over at theRoyal Society of Chemistry
