DNA Walker Molecular Motor Simulator

Interactive 3D DNA walker simulator: watch a bipedal DNA nanomachine step leg-over-leg along a linear track of anchor strands, powered by toehold-mediated strand displacement, with a burnt-bridge ratchet toggle showing why irreversible steps make the walk directional instead of a random diffusion.

Watch a bipedal DNA nanomachine step leg-over-leg along a linear track of anchor strands, powered by toehold-mediated strand displacement. Toggle the burnt-bridge ratchet to see why irreversibly consuming each vacated anchor is what turns random thermal fluctuation into directional, processive motion.
