Kinesin motors as molecular machines.
Molecular motor proteins, fueled by energy from ATP hydrolysis, move along actin filaments or microtubules, performing work in the cell. The kinesin microtubule motors transport vesicles or organelles, assemble bipolar spindles or depolymerize microtubules, functioning in basic cellular processes. The mechanism by which motor proteins convert energy from ATP hydrolysis into work is likely to di...

Roop Mallik studies how molecular motors and lipids interact to drive intracellular transport.
متن کاملSynthetic molecular motors and mechanical machines.
The widespread use of controlled molecular-level motion in key natural processes suggests that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of synthetic molecular systems, which by and large rely upon electronic and chemical effects to carry out their functions, and the machines of the macroscopic world, which utilize the synchronized movements of smaller parts ...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulations of Nano-Bio Materials
radically different computing concepts that leverage the physics of biological materials. For example, selforganization, self-repair, and self-reproduction are commonly found in biological systems but are difficult to achieve with conventional computing systems. New computing paradigms, such as cellular automata, neural networks, and evolutionary computing, may provide clues to utilize the comp...
متن کاملResource Letter: Bio-molecular Nano-machines: where Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Technology meet
Cell is the structural and functional unit of life. This Resource Letter serves as a guide to the literature on nano-machines which drive not only intracellular movements, but also motility of the cell. These machines are usually proteins or macromolecular assemblies which require appropriate fuel for their operations. Although, traditionally, these machines were subjects of investigation in bi...
