By combining spectroscopic measurements under high pressure with molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanics calculations we investigate how sub-angstrom structural perturbations are able to tune protein function.

A novel nano-scale pump that can transport atoms or small molecules with a peristaltic motion is designed. It is proven by molecular-dynamics simulations that the introduced nano-pump design works properly. The designed nano-pump consists of one main carbon nanotube named the flow tube and two rotors where multi-walled carbon nanotubes are attached. The pumping of helium atoms by the designed peristaltic carbon nano-pump is investigated by molecular-dynamics simulations. For varying rotor speeds and blade counts, time-averaged velocity, temperature, and pressure results of pumped helium atoms are calculated, and relationships between them are modeled as polynomial surfaces. The results showed that rotor frequency increases the velocity of helium linearly and the temperature and pressure of helium non-linearly. Furthermore, the blade count of the proposed mechanism does not substantially affect the velocity as per the previous studies in the literature.
