Speeding up association between biomolecules using the ability of a ‘sled’ peptide to one-dimensionally diffuse along DNA. (a) Usually, association between molecules occurs as a result of binding partners finding each other by diffusion in a 3D fashion through solution. (b) Addition of a 1D reaction pathway can drastically speed up the reaction by reducing the dimensionality of search.
