Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that provides crucial energy to activate a wide array of biological processes, in many organisms including the movement of muscles and the propagation of ...

Kinesin is a molecular motor that works as a cellular ‘porter’. Its job is to walk along microtubules, carrying membrane-bound bags of chemicals. To do this it must convert the chemical energy of ATP ...

The motor protein dynein is predicted to move the tail domain, a slender rod-like structure, relative to the catalytic head domain to carry out its power stroke. Here, we investigated ATP hydrolysis ...
