Chemical energy motion produced

Using Salt (Chemical Energy) to Produce Motion... 

Polymers III through VI represent a systematic increase in the number of Val (V) residues replaced by more oil-like Phe (F) residues. Each step increase in oil-like character of the model protein, on going from 0 to 2 to 3 to 4 and to 5 Phe residues for every 30 residues, stepwise increases the affinity of Na for -COO . Each step increase in oil-like character means that less of an increase in salt is required to drive contraction. Polymer VI, when cross-linked into elastic sheets, provides the most efficient molecular machine of the set. This molecular machine requires less chemical energy to produce a given amount of motion, that is, to perform a given amount of mechanical work. 

Whether the function of a molecular machine is to produce motion or convert one form of chemical energy into another or to perform any of several other energy conversion functions of biology and whether dysfunction occurs that results in disease and/or death, in our view, there exists a common groundwork of expla-nation, " that is, there occurs a consilient mech-... 

Chemo-mechanical transduction technically defines the use of chemical energy of ATP to produce motion, as in muscle contraction. The fundamental statement of the hydrophobic consilient mechanism regarding chemo-mechanical transduction is that the most charged, polar states disrupt hydrophobic asso-...
