摘要: Enzymes play a crucial role in many biological processes which require harnessing and converting free chemical energy into kinetic forces order to accomplish tasks. are considered be molecular machines, not only because of their capability conversion systems but also enzymatic catalysis can result enhanced diffusion enzymes at level. Enlightened by nature’s design machinery, researchers have investigated various types synthetic micro/nanomachines using reactions achieve self-propulsion micro/nanoarchitectures. Yet, the mechanism motion is still under debate current literature. Versatile proof-of-concept applications these enzyme-powered micro/nanodevices been recently demonstrated. In this review, we focus on discussing as stochastic swimmers nanoengines power self-propelled motors. We present an overview different micro/nanomachines,...
