LbL-assembled tubes were employed for micro/nanoscale cargo transportation through the kinesin-microtubule system. Selectively modified with kinesins onto the inner tube walls through Ni-NTA complexes, these tubes can work as channels for microtubules. A motility assay shows the smooth movement of microtubules along the tube inner wall powered by the inside immobilized kinesins. It could be envisioned that cargoes with different sizes can be transported through these tubular channels with little outside interruption.
