Figure 10. — The cycle of a model elastic network machine [20]. (a) Initially, the machine is in its equilibrium state. (b) A substrate (red) establishes elastic links to three beads (blue) in the hinge region between the two domains. (c) The machine changes its conformation to the new equilibrium state. (d) In this state, a reaction converting the substrate into product takes place and the product is instantaneously released. After that, the machine returns to its original conformation, completing the cycle. When the machine is used to construct a motor, three black beads in the lower domain are immobilized and the yellow bead in the upper domain interacts with the filament. Reproduced from [35].
