The Mechanochemistry of Molecular Motors

Original: Mechanochemistry of Molecular Motors [video]

A discussion of how molecular motors — tiny protein machines like kinesin and ATP synthase — convert chemical energy into mechanical work inside cells. The topic covers the mechanochemistry field, which studies how chemical reactions produce force and motion at the molecular scale, a subject of ongoing research and several Nobel Prize-winning discoveries.

Why now: The intersection of chemistry, biology and mechanics is drawing fresh technical interest among science readers.
