Abstract
We explore quantization of the response of a molecular motor to periodic modulation of control parameters. We formulate the Pumping-Quantization Theorem (PQT) that identifies the conditions for robust integer quantized behavior of a periodically driven molecular machine. Implication of PQT on experiments with catenane molecules are discussed.
