  • Simulating dynein’s powerstroke using Brownian dynamics

    Creator:
    Capek, Elliott
    Abstract:
    Dynein is a motor protein which transports cargo along tracks inside the cell. Like related motor proteins kinesin and myosin, dynein uses cellular energy to take steps with its two foot domains. Unlike kinesin or myosin, dynein’s stepping pattern is highly varied: it can take steps between zero and 60nm...
