137. An intriguing question about molecular machines is to establish which components are moving and which are not. Since, in solution, the motions of the molecular components cannot be referred to a fixed reference point, the question cannot even be addressed. One answer to this question is the immobilization of one or more components to a fixed frame such as a surface.
