Biological sensors can be created by combing biological molecules (like proteins and DNA) to carbon nanotubes. This is a movie of a protein attaching itself to a carbon nanotube. The protein here is the Coxsackie Adenovirus Receptor (CAR). CAR binds binds to viruses that are responsible for the common cold.
@Tigranchius The MD was performed with GROMACS and the visualization with VMD.
