Asymmetry in kinesin walking.

Abstract excerpt

Several lines of experimental evidence suggest that the conventional kinesin 1 walks by an asymmetric hand-over-hand mechanism, although it is a homodimer. In the previous study, we examined several important force-dependent features of the hand-over-hand mechanism of kinesin. In this study, we focus on the asymmetry in the hand-over-hand mechanism. We show that the experimentally observed kinesin limping can be...
