[edit] BIOMOTORS
Biomotors are biodevices that do biomechanical work through the hydrolization of ATP by bringing in a structural change within the motor protein, and mechanical work is done. This mechanical work is used to move the motor along a track in order to perform a load transport function, or to apply forces to the filament for cell motility and cell division.
[edit] ROLE IN DRUG DELIVERY:
Practically it has been proven that biomotors can propelled based on chemotaxis. this can be used in future in site targetted drug delivery making it possible to use several drugs which would otherwise not have been used suspecting they might affect others cells/ non target molecules.
