Background
Biomolecular motor system such as microtubule-kinesin is an example of smallest natural machine
that can convert chemical energy obtained from ATP into mechanical work with high efficiency and
specific power. Nowadays microtubule-kinesin system is being used as a building block for
constructing micro-actuators and driving unit of the biodevices. To use as a building block,
dynamic self-organization of microtubule and kinesin into highly organized structures has been
drawing much attention. Ring-shaped microtubule assemblies have been demonstrated to obtain through
dynamic self-organization. Considering the advantage of its geometry and handedness, they have
appeared to be a promising tool to harness continuous rotational motion without changing the
position of its mass center.
