Artificial molecular motors [PDF]
Chemical Society Reviews, 2017 Artificial molecular motors take inspiration from motor proteins, nature's solution for achieving directional molecular level motion. An overview is given of the principal designs of artificial molecular motors and their modes of operation. We identify some key challenges remaining in the field.

Light-driven molecular motors [PDF]
, 2004 Molecular motors can be defined as molecules that are able to convert any type of energy input (a fuel) into controlled motion. These systems can be categorized into linear and rotary motors, depending on the motion induced.

Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2013 Synthetische moleculaire motoren zijn moleculaire motoren die kunnen roteren door invloed van een energetische stimulans; bij lichtaangedreven moleculaire rotoren is dit licht. Dit onderzoek richtte zich op synthetische lichtaangedreven éénrichtingsroterende moleculaire motoren gebaseerd op overpopulatie van alkenen die fotoisomerisaties ondergaan ...

Force per cross-sectional area from molecules to muscles: a general property of biological motors [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 We propose to formally extend the notion of specific tension, i.e. force per cross-sectional area—classically used for muscles, to quantify forces in molecular motors exerting various biological functions.

The Mechanochemistry of Molecular Motors [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2000 A theory of molecular motors is presented that explains how the energy released in single chemical reactions can generate mechanical motion and force. In the simplest case the fluctuating movements of a motor enzyme are well described by a diffusion process on a two-dimensional potential energy surface, where one dimension is a chemical reaction ...

Current-induced mechanical torque in chiral molecular rotors
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2023 There has been great endeavor to engineer molecular rotors operated by an electrical current. A frequently met operation principle is the transfer of angular momentum taken from the incident flux.
