Abstract
An active biomimetic system by integrating kinesin motor, microtubule, and man-made biomimetic microcapsule has been constructed. Biomimetic microcapsules were fabricated by using the layer-by-layer technique and could serve as cargos in this active biomimetic system. Both of the hollow and filled capsules as cargos can be transported by kinesin motors along microtubules. It may help to create kinesin-powered complex hybrid micro- and nanodevices.
