Each molecule of ATP fuel that kinesin encounters triggers precisely one 8 nanometer step of the longshoreman . " He was a wonderful collaborator and friend , " Bolcom said Friday . " The ATP Synthase motor has the classic stator and rotor structure familiar in man-made motors . Great ideas are born on our campuses : Hewlett-Packard was born at a university , as was the artificial heart , the integrated circuit chip , and , yes , Google . Momentum started the last leg with a crucial 11 minute , 49 second lead over its closest competitor , the University of Minnesota — a lead they were able to keep . A molecule of ATP fuel produces one " stroke " of the myosin leg , like a single stroke of a rowing machine . Though it 's not a primary focus of his work , Michael Mayer , who trained in chemistry and biophysics , is also intrigued by a 20-nanometer motor called ATP synthase . Freeman Dyson , who will receive an honorary Doctor of Science , will serve as the commencement speaker . Rotation of the motor converts adenosine diphosphate ( ADP ) molecules into ATP molecules , the cell 's fuel .
