Abstract Models of Molecular Walkers
… have led to designs for artificial multi-pedal walkers that follow tracks of chemicals. The walkers, called molecular spiders, consist of a rigid chemically inert body and several flexible enzymatic legs. The legs can reversibly bind to chemical substrates on a surface, and through their …

Synthesis of linear copolymers and of polymer brushes substituted with spiropyran groups : a step towards light driven molecular walkers
… specific wavelength-induced changes in molecular properties such as colour shifting and conversion of light energy into mechanical switching. These changes are based on the light induced isomerization of the usually non-polar spiropyran species to zwitterionic merocyanine species. …

Multivalent Random Walkers:A computational model of superdiffusive transport at the nanoscale
… at superdiffusive rates in artificial molecular systems. Our \emph{multivalent random walker} model describes the motion of a walker with a rigid, inert body and flexible, enzymatic legs. A leg can bind to and irreversibly modify surface-bound chemical substrate sites arranged as …
