This work presents the design, bottom-up construction, and characterization of a synthetic molecular transport system that rivals the mobility and length scales of natural molecular transport systems. It allows for user-defined directional mobility control by applying external electric fields. The system is comprised of DNA building blocks that self-assemble into the desired architecture. The assembly and functionality of the system are verified by gel-electrophoretic mobility analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and single-molecule fluorescence microscopy.
