The motion of motor proteins on biopolymers is important for diverse biological processes. Actin, microtubules, and nucleic acids can serve as one-dimensional tracks on which motor proteins move.

Myosin VI is a unique motor protein that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cell movement, cargo transport, and cellular signaling. As the only known minus-end actin ...

Myosin is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)–powered motor protein whose motion along actin filaments generates muscle contractions. The two were trying to reconstitute, in vitro, the basic motility that ...

Each cylindrical tube is filled with parallel rods of actin filaments bundled by cross-linking proteins. Filamentous actin is a chemical motor; the energy released upon synthesis and breakdown of ...
