Mechanistic Biology
Linked via "ATP synthase"
Molecular Machines
The primary focus of modern mechanistic biology is the elucidation of specific molecular machines. These entities perform work—movement, transport, synthesis—using chemical energy. Examples include the ATP synthase, the ribosome, and various motor proteins like kinesin. These machines are often modeled using classical mechanics, treating molecular motors as nanoscale rotary or linear engines.
