ScienceMolecular machine reportedly turns chemical fuel into directed motion without intervention
Chemistry World describes a simple organic catalyst that moves phosphate groups along sugar backbones, using a method inspired by nature.
TLDR
Chemistry World reports that a molecular machine based on a phosphate group converts chemical fuel into directed motion without any intervention. It calls this the first synthetic, small-molecule system to do so. The method uses a simple organic catalyst to move phosphate groups along sugar backbones.
