Motor-like DNA motion due to an ATP-hydrolyzing protein under nanoconfinement

We report that long double-stranded DNA confined to quasi-1D nanochannels undergoes superdiffusive motion under the action of the enzyme T4 DNA ligase in the presence of necessary co-factors. Inside the confined environment of the nanochannel, double-stranded DNA molecules stretch out due to self-av...
