The invention discloses a photo-acid-driven single-hole
colloid motor and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of
colloid motors. The
colloid motor takes a
polyelectrolyte single-hole microcapsule loaded with
photoacid as a core, and a
capsule-like
vesicle film is assembled on the surface of the
polyelectrolyte single-hole microcapsule. The method comprises the following steps: extracting the
thylakoid vesicles embedded with the biomolecular motor FlFo-
ATP synthase by virtue of methods of homogenizing and homogenizing,
gradient centrifugation and
extrusion; 2, preparing a single-hole microcapsule by a heterogeneous
nucleation, self-expansion and selective
etching method; 3, carrying out layer-by-layer self-
assembly by taking the single-hole microcapsule as a template to prepare a
polyelectrolyte single-hole microcapsule; and 4, assembling the
capsule-like vesicles on the surface of the polyelectrolyte single-hole microcapsule. By utilizing a unique single-hole channel structure, precise regulation and control on light-operated
proton release and transmembrane transportation are realized, and the
proton driving efficiency is remarkably improved, so that rotation of FlFo-
ATP synthase is efficiently activated to synthesize ATP, a
light response motion behavior is realized, and directional motion and
energy metabolism regulation and control in a complex biological medium can be realized.
