Rhomboids are widely conserved intramembrane proteases. They are known to control important biological processes in model insect, worm, yeast and protozoan species, but their functions in most organisms including mammals and bacteria are unknown. The key to the understanding of rhomboid functions are their natural substrates, but it has been unclear how these are selected and recognized and method ...

We propose a feasibility demonstration of an unprecedented concept: preparation of regular two-dimensional arrays of artificial surface-mounted dipolar molecular rotors and control of their coherent motion by the application of an outside electric field. The proposal involves a highly interdisciplinary endeavor, which requires experience in synthesis (preparation of molecular rotors), surface che ...
