These tiny molecular machines fascinate me.
There is a debate over whether viruses are alive or just molecular machines.
These studies can often find definitive evidence for which molecular machines are involved in all manner of biological phenomena.
"The living cell contains incredible molecular machines that manipulate information-encoding molecules like DNA and RNA in ways that are fundamentally very similar to computation," Professor Shapiro said.
But it offers an intriguing glimpse of a future in which molecular machines operate inside people, spotting diseases and treating them before noticeable symptoms even appear.
Already, arguments have begun over a very different science, nanotechnology -- the use of molecular machines to build structures atom by atom.
Researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and haveard Universitakenve taken a step toward creating parts for molecular machines, out of DNA.
Building Molecular Machines.
Our bodies are homes to molecular machines that are almost unbelievable in their sophistication and elegance.
These molecular machines will be medicines of tomorrow.
Genes encode the instructions for assembling proteins, molecular machines that perform vital jobs in our cells.
