About

Molecular motors is a class of biological or synthetic nanoscale machines investigated for their ability to convert chemical energy, primarily from ATP hydrolysis, into directed mechanical work and force generation. This concept is fundamental to understanding essential cellular processes such as intracellular transport and motility, and for the development of molecular nanotechnology.
