Molecular sled is an eleven-amino acid vehicle facilitating biochemical interactions via sliding components along DNA
Extremely compact environments can inhibit protein interactions by preventing 3-dimensional diffusion. Here the authors show that an 11-amino acid long peptide can function as a ‘molecular sled’, able to transport cargo linearly along DNA to enable interactions.
