5. Figure 3 Motion Studies of the Micromachines
(A) Influence of functionalization with DNA and the presence of Hg(II) on the mobility of microtubes. The average velocity was calculated from ten independent motion studies. The error bars indicate the SD.
(B and C) Propulsion of DNA-functionalized microtubes in Hg(II)-polluted water in a linear way (B) and a circular way (C). Scale bars represent 20 μm.
