| Comments |
"[Researchers'] favorite biological molecule of interest is the nanomotor F0F1-ATP synthase. This enzyme with 10 nm in diameter
and 20 nm in height provides all cells with the "energy currency" adenosine triphosphate, ATP, which is needed for all
processes of life [primary sources]." |
