Introduction to the F1-ATPase
• ATPase: Produce and hydrolyze ATP
• F1 Complex: α 3 β 3 hexamer and γ subunit
• γ subunit ( > 12nm) rotates due to the conversion of chemical to
mechanical energy (efficiency 80-100%, torgue 120-150
pN·nm).

DEP for Manipulation of Biomolecules
• Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a phenomenon in which a
force is exerted on a dielectric particle in a non-uniform
electric field –
Force acting on
polarizable particles:
Sphere of radius r,
ε m = 80 for water
C.F. Chou et al.,
Biophysical Journal (2002)
• DEP is a technique which can be used to separate cells
or molecules based on their difference in polarizability
Our Approach: Electrodeless DEP
()
Advantages ():
1) Simpler fabrication process ()
2) Structure chemically inert ()
3) High E fields without risk of electrolysis ()
Molecular Trap ()
Field focusing mostly occurs
at the tips of constriction
→ Increase of molecule
