Replicating efficient chemical energy utilization of biological nanomotors is one ultimate goal of nanotechnology and energy technology. Here, we report a rationally designed autonomous bipedal nanowalker made of DNA that achieves a fuel efficiency of less than two fuel molecules decomposed per productive forward step, hence breaking a general threshold for chemically powered machines invented to date. As a genuine enzymatic nanomotor without changing itself nor the track, the walker demonstrates a sustained motion on an extended double-stranded track at a speed comparable to previous burn-bridge motors. Like its biological counterparts, this artificial nanowalker realizes multiple chemomechanical gatings, especially a bias-generating product control unique to chemically powered nanomotors. This study yields rich insights into how pure physical effects facilitate harvest of chemical energy at the single-molecule level and provides a rarely available motor system for future development toward replicating the efficient, repeatable, automatic, and mechanistically sophisticated transportation seen in biomotor-based intracellular transport but beyond the capacity of the current burn-bridge motors.
