| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We established a way to investigate the energy transduction efficiency of molecular motors in single molecule experiments without measuring independently the free energy change associated with chemical reactions. We revealed that the free energy change may not be obtained only from single molecule experiments, since a theoretical assumption is not always valid in the experimental situations. Instead, we developed a framework where the energy transduction efficiency is evaluated from the dependence of the work done by molecular motors on the concentrations of molecules involved in the chemical reaction.
