The role of ATP hydrolysis for kinesin processivity.

Abstract excerpt

Conventional kinesin is a highly processive, plus-end-directed microtubule-based motor that drives membranous organelles toward the synapse in neurons. Although recent structural, biochemical, and mechanical measurements are beginning to converge into a common view of how kinesin converts the energy from ATP turnover into motion, it remains difficult to dissect experimentally the intermolecular domain...
