Fig. 1. Nanopatterning of kinesin molecules by selective immobilization of kinesin on gold nanopillars.

(A) Schematic illustration of nanopatterned kinesin molecules. (B) The experimental procedure of nanopatterning of kinesin molecules. (C) Fluorescence image of microtubules gliding at the boundary of the passivated silicon dioxide region and the kinesin-1–patterned region on gold nanopillars. Scale bar, 10 μm. (D) Sequential images of a microtubule at the boundary between the nanopillar region and silicon dioxide region. Scale bar, 2 μm.
