Biological and biomimetic molecular machines.
The evolution of life facilitates the creation of biological molecular machines. In these so-called 'nanomachines,' nature elegantly shows that when precisely organized and assembled, simple molecular mechanical components can link motions efficiently from the nanometer scale to the macroscopic world, and achieve complex functions such as powering skeletal muscles, synthesizing ATP and producin...
متن کاملSpotlight: Catalytic applications of molecular machines
Morteza Torabi was born in 1995 in Hamedan, Iran. He received his B.Sc. in Applied Chemistry (2017) and M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry (2019) from Bu-Ali Sina University under the supervision of Professor Mohammad Ali Zolfigol. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Mohammad Ali Zolfigol at Bu-Ali Sina University. His research interest is the design, synthesis ...
متن کاملProtein Targeting: Entropy, Energetics and Modular Machines
New light is being shed on the mechanism of protein import into mitochondria. The inner membrane translocase can switch between modes of translocation, and assists what might be an entropic device to drive the initial entry of substrate proteins across the outer membrane.
متن کاملTheory of molecular machines. I. Channel capacity of molecular machines.
Like macroscopic machines, molecular-sized machines are limited by their material components, their design, and their use of power. One of these limits is the maximum number of states that a machine can choose from. The logarithm to the base 2 of the number of states is defined to be the number of bits of information that the machine could "gain" during its operation. The maximum possible infor...
متن کاملTheory of molecular machines. II. Energy dissipation from molecular machines.
Single molecules perform a variety of tasks in cells, from replicating, controlling and translating the genetic material to sensing the outside environment. These operations all require that specific actions take place. In a sense, each molecule must make tiny decisions. To make a decision, each "molecular machine" must dissipate an energy Py in the presence of thermal noise Ny. The number of b...
