5. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols can be formed on gold evaporated onto a solid flat substrate such as silicon or glass. The sulfur groups interact covalently with the gold, the poly(methylene) chains pack tightly to form the monolayer, and the head groups are exposed.

9. M13 virus as anode materials for Li-ion batteries Materials-specific peptides identified by biopanning (phage display) were expressed on the major coat p8 proteins of viruses to grow Co3O4 and Au-Co3O4 nanowires. Macroscopic ordering of the engineered viruses was used to fabricate an assembled monolayer of Co3O4 nanowires for flexible, lightweight Li ion batteries. Taken from (Nam, 2006).

10. M13 virus with peptides which attach to nanocrystalline  -FePO4, and the gene III protein (pIII) that is engineered to have a binding affinity for SWNTs; this leads to lithium ion battery cathode that has nanostructure and therefore enables greater current density.

18. ATP Synthase - A Molecular Turbine ATP synthase is an important enzyme that provides energy for the cell to use through the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ATP is the most commonly used "energy currency" of cells from most organisms. It is formed from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (P i ) which releases energy. The overall reaction sequence is: ATP synthase + ADP + P i → ATP Synthase + ATP This energy is often in the form of protium or H+, moving down an electrochemical gradient, such as from the lumen into the stroma of chloroplasts or from the inter-membrane space into the matrix in mitochondria. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU-B7G6anqw&feature=related

21. Electrically Driven Linear Nanomotor An indium nanocrystal ram between two carbon-nanotube lever arms. Another indium nanocrystal is attached to one of the lever arms, and through electron migration of indium atoms along the surface of the nanotubes, serves as a continuous supply of indium atoms. The voltage bias applied to the lever controls the direction of flow of indium atoms between reservoir and ram, making the ram grow or shrink, and thereby prying the lever arms apart or allowing them to relax together.
