Abstract: On the basis of the important experimental results of molecular motors, it was polnted out that the moving process of molecular motors is a coupling biological process of chemical-electrical-mechanical processes. This clever mechanism of energy conversion on the molecular level with several processes coupled together had never been observed before. The understanding of this new mechanism is an important step towards the understanding of life and an important content of what we can learn from life. We introduced here the status of the investigations on the mechanism for the force generation of kinesin and the studies of the authors in this field
