Molecular motors in Bionanotechnology / by Keith Firman and James Youell. - First edition. - 1 online resource (212 pages) : 52 illustrations

chapter 1 Mode of Activity of Molecular Motors -- chapter 2 Chemical Motors -- chapter 3 Biological Motors That Produce Rotary Motion -- chapter 4 Biological Motors That Produce Linear Motion -- chapter 5 Towards Bionanotechnology.

Biological molecular motors provide most cells with the dynamic systems required for their day-to-day existence. Examples occur in even the simplest organism (e.g. a bacteria virus), and the range of tasks that they carry out is vast. Over the last few years, there has been a large increase in the study of these motors, and it is becoming apparent that many motors will find uses in either bionanotechnology or synthetic biology.
