Biomolecular machines work through intricate mechanisms involving proteins, enzymes, and other biomolecules. These components interact in highly specific ways to carry out their functions. For example, the enzyme ATP synthase is a molecular motor that synthesizes ATP, the energy currency of the cell, by utilizing a proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane. Another example is the ribosome, which translates mRNA into proteins by orchestrating a series of complex biochemical reactions.
