Abstract

Motor proteins convert the chemical energy of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis into directed movement along filamentous tracks, such as DNA, microtubule, and actin. The motile properties of motors are essential to their wide variety of cellular functions, including cargo transport, mitosis, cell motility, nuclear positioning, and ciliogenesis. Detailed understanding of the biophysical mechanisms of motor motility is therefore essential to understanding the physical basis of these processes. In which direction is the motor going? How fast and how far can a single motor walk down its track? How is ATP hydrolysis coupled to directed motion? How do multiple subunits of a motor coordinate with each other during motility? These questions can be addressed directly by tracking motors at a single-molecule level. This chapter will focus on high-resolution fluorescence tracking techniques of the processive cytoskeletal motors: myosins, kinesins, and cytoplasmic dynein. We outline the theoretical and practical considerations for studying these motors in vitro using fluorescence tracking at nanometer precision.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 August 2014.
All research outputs
#20,233,547
of 22,759,618 outputs
Outputs from EXS
#82
of 93 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#264,815
of 305,282 outputs
Outputs of similar age from EXS
#5
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,759,618 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 93 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 305,282 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
