Motion consilient protein-based

Summary of Consilient Protein-based Machines (Engines and Motors) That Pump Iron, That Is, That Produce Motion... [Pg.158]

The term machine is a general designation for any device that converts energy from one form to another. The particular type of machine that performs mechanical work or produces motion is commonly called either a motor or an engine. Here, we summarize the capacity of protein-based machines to perform mechanical work (pump iron) by the consilient mechanism of hydrophobic association by utilizing a number of different energy inputs. [Pg.158]

Based on the consilient interpretations of the model protein data, the presence of a negatively and multiply charged ATP separated by water molecules from a nearby chain or loop that contained hydrophobic residues would repulse the hydrophobic groups, causing them to reside at a greater distance and possibly in the shadow of the backbone. This constitutes a deformation that limits the freedom of motion of the chain or loop. [Pg.353]
