4/🙌This project was a journey through chemistry, membrane biophysics, and light-activated systems. Huge thanks to everyone involved—especially my lab warrior Yusuf Qutbuddin!

3/ Why is this study special? 🧪
*Not all motors behave the same!
*We show that system-specific characterization is essential in biological setups.
*Molecular structure and polarity drastically affect motor distribution & membrane interaction (fluidity, tension...)

2/ Together with our colleagues from the Schwille Lab, we explored how light-driven rotary molecular motors behave when embedded in lipid membranes. A crucial step toward future responsive biological and biomimetic systems. 🚗🦜
