Introduction:
The working parts of a living organism consist of several supramolecular structures. These multi-subunit complexes work as molecular machines, like physical entities with moving parts that perform work as a result of force and distance. The molecular machine is similar to mechanical devices made by human beings.

QUESTION NO. 1L-Carnitine is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in the kidneys and then transported to other tissues. It is most concentrated in tissues that use fatty acids as their primary fuel, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this regard, L-carnitine plays an important role in energy production by conjugating to fatty acids for transport from the cytosol into the mitochondria. L-carnitine shuttle is an example of
