Protein-based machines vital force that sustains life

E.4 Protein-based Machines as Physical Embodiments of the Vital Force That Sustains Life... 

The above three discussed protein-based machines—Complex III of the electron transport chain, ATP synthase/Fj-ATPase, and the myosin II motor of muscle contraction—represent the three major classes of energy conversion that sustain Life. Therefore, the facility with which the consilient mechanisms explain their function indeed support the thesis that biology s vital force arises from the coupled hydrophobic and elastic consilient mechanisms.
