Preparation of Biomolecular Robot

Abstract

Biomolecular motor system microtubule-kinesin can perform mechanical work by using chemical energy of ‘adenosine-5’-triphosphate’ (ATP) which is the fuel that provides energy to all living things. Using this fuel, biomolecular motors can produce a huge amount of energy almost 100 times larger than that of widely used electric motors. Modern technology is still far away from producing such a powerful molecular machine. By making the best use of this natural machine, we are aiming to design an artificial robot where biomolecular motors will be working as the central power generating unit.
