Overview
Biochemistry Macromolecular Assemblies and Machines are complexes of biological molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, that work together to execute a certain biological activity. These macromolecular assemblies and machines fulfil a wide range of functions, from forming structures like the cytoskeleton that gives cells their shape, to synthesizing hormones and neurotransmitters, and more. They are essential for life, as they enable organisms to sustain vital processes like cell division and metabolism. Scientists are researching and developing new ways to manipulate these assemblies and machines to produce medicines, materials, and other technologies.
