This accessible book explores the mechanisms of cellular functioning associated with several specific enzymatic molecules called motor proteins. It presents established results, theoretical methods, and experimental observations related to biological molecular motors. The author uses fundamental physical-chemical concepts and methods to develop a systematic theoretical framework for understanding motor protein dynamics. He introduces the main ideas using simple arguments that avoid heavy mathematical derivations in favor of more intuitive physical understanding.
