40. The asymmetry can arise in different ways for the nanomotor and it is not necessary that the asymmetry be associated with the noncatalytic sphere. Asymmetry could occur as a result of interactions with the catalytic dimer, or the catalytic and noncatalytic portions of Janus particles or other motor configurations.

48. Similar considerations apply when reversible reactions take place at the catalytic spheres. In this case propulsion will cease when chemical equilibrium is established.

51. One may also attempt to estimate the friction coefficient by accounting for Oseen interactions among the monomers in the bound dimer pair. However, in view of the fact that the configuration involves short bonds between the overlapping monomers, this approximation is likely to be poor.
