Molecular motors: Five go faster
Abstract
Molecular motors are common in nature — for example the proteins kinesin and myosin, which perform transport functions in cells — and are very efficient at converting chemical to kinetic energy. Light-driven molecular motors have proved to be the most effective of the artificial systems, with potential applications as functional components in nanoscale devices.
