MolecularMachinery Class


Overview

The MolecularMachinery class simulates complex molecular machines such as ribosomes, ATP synthases, and DNA polymerases. It models their components, functions, efficiency, energy consumption, and interactions with proteins and cells. The class supports serialization to/from JSON, performance tracking, and maintenance operations.
