Prospects for single-molecule electrostatic detection in molecular motor gliding motility assays
New Journal of Physics, 2021 Molecular motor gliding motility assays based on myosin/actin or kinesin/microtubules are of interest for nanotechnology applications ranging from cargo-trafficking in lab-on-a-chip devices to novel biocomputation strategies.

Viruses, 2020 Double-stranded DNA viruses package their genomes into pre-assembled protein procapsids. This process is driven by macromolecular motors that transiently assemble at a unique vertex of the procapsid and utilize homomeric ring ATPases to couple genome ...

eLife, 2014 Microtubule-based transport by the kinesin motors, powered by ATP hydrolysis, is essential for a wide range of vital processes in eukaryotes. We obtained insight into this process by developing atomic models for no-nucleotide and ATP states of the ...

Structural basis for isoform-specific kinesin-1 recognition of Y-acidic cargo adaptors
eLife, 2018 The light chains (KLCs) of the heterotetrameric microtubule motor kinesin-1, that bind to cargo adaptor proteins and regulate its activity, have a capacity to recognize short peptides via their tetratricopeptide repeat domains (KLCTPR). Here, using X-ray

Langevin approach to the Porto system
Entropy, 2004 : M. Porto (Phys. Rev. E 63 (2001) 030102) suggested a system consisting of Coulomb interacting particles, forming a linear track and a rotor, and working as a molecular motor. Newton equations with damping for the rotor coordinate on the track x, with a

The force exerted by a molecular motor [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 The stochastic driving force exerted by a single molecular motor (e.g., a kinesin, or myosin) moving on a periodic molecular track (microtubule, actin filament, etc.) is discussed from a general viewpoint open to experimental test. An elementary “barometric” relation for the driving force is introduced that ( i

Cellular Motors for Molecular Manufacturing [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2007 AbstractCells are composed of macromolecular structures of various sizes that act individually or collectively to maintain their viability and perform their function within the organism. This review focuses on one structure, the microtubule, and one of the motor proteins that move along it, conventional kinesin (kinesin 1).
