Description: Molecular motors are naturally occurring machines that walk, literally walk, around inside cells, moving things to where they need to go. There are many, many of them working away inside you right now!nnOne part of my PhD focused on the molecular motor called myosin-V. It is as much a 'motor' as the internal combustion engine, but the different physics at its scale of motion (myosin-V steps by no more than 36 nm at a time, 36 millionths of a millimetre) requires a different mechanism to acheive
