kinesin motor mechanics

Our lab works on the molecular mechanics of kinesin motors using bacterially expressed wild-type and mutant constructs using a wide range of biochemical and biophysical techniques including ATPase assays, single molecule visualization techniques and optical tweezers.

Keywords: Molecular motors / kinesin / cytoskeleton / cell movement / organelle transport

Subject area(s): Cell & Tissue Architecture | Membranes & Transport | Structural Biology & Biophysics
