The goal of BIOMACH, one of the FP6-funded Europen nanotechnology projects, was to achieve scientific prominence in the field of design and handling of nanoscale molecular machines. Launched in 2004, the project will come to a close at the end of April this year. There will be a final review meeting on April 23-25, 2007, in Baden-Baden, Germany.
BIOMACH was set up as a cross-disciplinary esearch initiative dealing with molecular machines, in particular biological and artificial motors. A close collaboration between chemists known for their expertise in designing functional (bio)molecular motors, biophysicists experienced in dealing with molecular biomachines and physicists addressing single-molecules will advance the basic understanding in this domain.
