Biological/biomolecular motor

Recently there has been much interest in the ability to precisely position and orient biological molecules on engineered nanofabricated substrates thus enabling technology critical to the long-term goal of integrating biomolecular motors with nanoelectromechanical systems. In some... 

It is now well established that the biophysical analysis of a variety of enzymes shows that many act as nanoscale biological motors. In these studies the force generation and size scale of these biomolecular motors have been reported to be compatible with nanofabricated structures.
