Motor proteins are tiny "machines" inside cells that use chemical energy to move along molecular tracks and carry out ...

The structure of a key part of the machinery that allows cells to divide has been identified by researchers, opening new possibilities for throwing a wrench in the machine and blocking runaway cell ...

Biophysicists at Stanford University have finally answered one of the most fundamental questions in molecular biology: How does the tiny motor molecule, known as kinesin, move across a living cell?

Learn more about an important cellular protein called kinesin from this video by the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), and Ron Vale Ph.D., a UCSF researcher. Kinesin is a motor protein, ...

The involvement of cytoskeleton-related proteins in regulating mitochondrial respiration has been revealed in mammalian cells. However, It is unclear if there is a relationship between the microtubule ...

Kinesin cytoskeletal motors convert the energy of ATP hydrolysis into stepping movement along microtubules. A partial model of this process has been derived from crystal structures, which show that ...

Neurons, which are responsible for producing the signals that ultimately trigger an action such as talking or moving a muscle, are built and maintained by classes of motor proteins that transport ...

Kinesin, ein Motorprotein, das Vesikel und Organellen in einer Richtung an Mikrotubulusbahnen entlang bewegt. Es besteht aus zwei großen Untereinheiten (M r 110 kDa), die zwei Köpfe ausbilden, einem ...
