A programmable optical angle clamp for rotary molecular motors

open access: yes, 2007
Optical tweezers are widely used for experimental investigation of linear molecular motors. The rates and force dependence of steps in the mechanochemical cycle of linear motors have been probed giving detailed insight into motor mechanisms. With similar

Sparse bayesian step-filtering for high-throughput analysis of molecular machine dynamics

open access: yes, 2010
Nature has evolved many molecular machines such as kinesin, myosin, and the rotary flagellar motor powered by an ion current from the mitochondria. Direct observation of the step-like motion of these machines with time series from novel experimental ...

Universal and unique features of kinesin motors: Insights from a comparison of fungal and animal conventional kinesins [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Kinesins are microtubule motors that use the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP to move unidirectionally along microtubules, The founding member of this still growing superfamily is conventional kinesin, a dimeric motor that moves processively ...

Flagella-Driven Motility of Bacteria

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2019
The bacterial flagellum is a helical filamentous organelle responsible for motility. In bacterial species possessing flagella at the cell exterior, the long helical flagellar filament acts as a molecular screw to generate thrust.

The Central Role of the F-Actin Surface in Myosin Force Generation

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Actin is one of the most abundant and versatile proteins in eukaryotic cells. As discussed in many contributions to this Special Issue, its transition from a monomeric G-actin to a filamentous F-actin form plays a critical role in a variety of cellular ...

Unidirectional rotary motion in a liquid crystalline environment: Color tuning by a molecular motor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Life could not exist without motion induced by a variety of molecular motors. The construction of artificial motors by chemical synthesis, which can power motions that lead to macroscopic detectable effects in a system, is a major endeavor in ...

Clinical and Biological Features of Response in Resistant Neuroblastoma to 131I‐Metaiodobenzylguanidine Radiotherapy in the Anti‐GD2 Immunotherapy Era

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background 131I‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I‐MIBG) radiotherapy is a key treatment for relapsed and refractory (R/R) neuroblastoma (NB). Patients with R/R disease treated in the modern era are increasingly exposed to anti‐GD2 immunotherapy, which exerts selective pressure and may modify both tumor cell state and microenvironment.

Structural Conservation and Adaptation of the Bacterial Flagella Motor

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Many bacteria require flagella for the ability to move, survive, and cause infection. The flagellum is a complex nanomachine that has evolved to increase the fitness of each bacterium to diverse environments. Over several decades, molecular, biochemical,
