Molecular Motors
 
DNA Mechanics
Several methods are available for using DNA a nanomechanical control system. The latest research into the mechanical properties movement of DNA is discussed with references, in particular, in vivo implications of supercoiling as an ionic switch.

BIOMACH
European nanotechnology project devoted to the study of biological molecular motors as well as the design of synthetic nanomachines.

Molecular Motors Group in the Biology Department at the University of York
A research group that uses single molecule techniques to investigate the mechanism of molecular motors.

CISMM
"One of the central themes of nanotechnology is the scaling down of electromechanical devices or machines to the molecular scale. In this project, we pursue this goal with the help of nanomachine systems that nature has already created: “biomotors” or “molecular motors”."
