A molecular machine refers to an assembly of molecules that can perform specific tasks or functions at the molecular level, usually through mechanical motion or changes in structure. These machines can carry out tasks such as transporting cargo, catalyzing chemical reactions, or responding to environmental stimuli. Molecular machines are often constructed using components like organic molecules, proteins, or synthetic polymers, and they can be designed to convert energy into motion or perform work in a controlled manner.
