Sentences with phrase «kinesin motors»

The worm - like structures are microtubules driven by kinesin motor proteins.

Protein friction limits diffusive and directed movements of kinesin motors on microtubules.

This sliding was mediated by the minus end — directed kinesin motor Klp2, which helped microtubules to become properly organized with plus ends predominantly oriented toward the cell ends and minus ends toward the cell center.

Fluorescence imaging of single Kinesin motors on immobilized microtubules.

As a graduate student at the European Molecular Biology Lab in Heidelberg he used cryo - EM to study kinesin motors, capturing snapshots that show how kinesin «walks» along a microtubule.

This particular active material, originally developed at Brandeis University, borrows elements of cellular machinery, with bundles of rod - like microtubules forming the filaments, kinesin motor proteins acting as the engines, and ATP as the fuel.

He notes that AS - 2 could be the starting point for designing anticancer drugs to throttle the kinesin motor that allows cells to divide.

We demonstrated that β - arrestins mediate the activity - dependent interaction of Smo and the kinesin motor protein Kif3A.

The researchers found that AS - 2 binds strongly to the kinesin motor, preventing it from sticking to a cell's monorails — that is, traveling along microtubules.

In addition to receptors, GRIP has also been shown to bind to KIF - 5, a kinesin motor protein that is crucial in the transport of AMPA receptors within the neuron (Setou et al 2002).

«George was one of the first biophysicists who married experiments and theory by developing computational models of a bewildering variety of molecular machines — kinesin motor, flagellar rotary motor, RNA polymerase and protein translocation motors, «one - shot» actin polymerization motor and «slime - gun» motor of bacterial gliding,» Magilner said.
