Proteins are called molecular machines, which precisely work like machines on the nanoscale. Recently, on the basis of understanding molecular mechanisms of biological molecular motors, designs of artificial molecular machines have been attempted. The key concept is the molecular engine, which generates mechanical motions by receiving external energy, and converts it to another form of energy. In this workshop, recent advances on molecular engines from structural and computational analyses of biological molecular engines to designs of novel artificial molecular engines will be discussed.
