1.1 What is friction? Take this everyday example: when a coffee mug rests on a flat table, the kinetic frictional force is zero. There is no force trying to move the mug across the table, so there is ...

As a protein moves along DNA, it experiences three different frictional forces arising from random collision with the solvent molecules, and all three are proportional to the solvent viscosity, ...

The adenovirus proteinase (AVP), a 23 kDa cysteine proteinase 1,2, is activated inside a nascent virion, so it can cleave multiple copies of virion precursor proteins used in virion assembly 3,4. Only ...

Nanomachines will depend on our knowledge of friction, heat transfer and energy dissipation at the atomic level for their very survival. In the scramble to revolutionize the world with nanotechnology ...
