AI Summary

Biomolecular nanomachines, including enzymes and molecular motors, drive the synthesis and organization of complex materials in living systems. They use chemical energy to build, transport, and arrange biomolecules, enabling the creation of highly ordered structures that remain far from thermodynamic equilibrium. In natural contexts, multiple nanomachines work sequentially, each consuming energy, to construct these ordered assemblies. The coordination of these energy‑driven steps is essential for maintaining the structural order observed in biological materials.
