Abstract EN
Nanomedicine results from nanotechnology where molecular scale minute precise nanomotors can be used to treat disease conditions.
Many such biological nanomotors are found and operate in living systems which could be used for therapeutic purposes.
The question is how to build nanomachines that are compatible with living systems and can safely operate inside the body? Here we propose that it is of paramount importance to have a workable base model for the development of nanomotors in nanomedicine usage.
The base model must placate not only the basic requirements of size, number, and speed but also must have the provisions of molecular modulations.
Universal occurrence and catalytic site molecular modulation capabilities are of vital importance for being a perfect base model.
In this review we will provide a detailed discussion on ATP synthase as one of the most suitable base models in the development of nanomotors.
We will also describe how the capabilities of molecular modulation can improve catalytic and motor function of the enzyme to generate a catalytically improved and controllable ATP synthase which in turn will help in building a superior nanomotor.
For comparison, several other biological nanomotors will be described as well as their applications for nanotechnology.
