Book excerpt: The three model systems we use - enzyme cascades, coupled molecular motors and self-assembling molecular shuttles provide a broad basis for generalized transport systems in nanoscale systems. These systems combine diffusive and active transport, as well as diverse assembly conditions and multi-scale systems with size scales spanning nano- to millimeter sizes and system complexity ranging from isolated two-component systems to multimolecular, highly-coupled systems. By applying and adapting these basic models to increasingly complex systems, we can both understand the physics behind nanoscale systems, as well as design these systems with increased robustness, scalability and repeatability.
