Molecular motors
Molecular motors are components of living organisms that allow for movement. Molecular motors can be natural or artificial and they work by consuming energy and converting it into mechanical work, or movement. Examples of molecular motors, include kinesin, which move towards the positive end of a cell, and dynein, which move towards the negative end of a cell.
