Molecular motors are natural (biological) or artificial molecular machines that are the essential agents of movement in living organisms.

Perhaps the most fascinating proteins that associate with the cytoskeleton are the molecular motors called motor proteins. These remarkable proteins bind to a polarized cytoskeletal filament and use the energy derived from repeated cycles of ATP hydrolysis to move steadily along it.

2003年4月17日 · Molecular motors are amazing biological machines that are responsible for most forms of movement we encounter in the cellular world. Three types of cytoplasmic motors are known: myosins, which...

2020年1月8日 · Molecular motors, an important class of molecular machines, harness various energy sources to generate unidirectional mechanical motion. The operational principles of these motors, whether biological or synthetic, are distinct from those of man-made macroscopic motors.

2000年3月1日 · Molecular motors are responsible for almost all biologically interesting motion. They support efficient, sustained, directional motility of cellular components within cells, of entire cells over surfaces and of entire organisms.

Molecular motors, also called molecular machines, are either natural or synthetic molecules that convert chemical energy into mechanical forces and motion. An example of a biological motor is...

Molecular motors are biological nanomachines that convert chemical energy into mechanical work, powering essential cellular processes and inspiring artificial nanodevices.
