Mechanical characterization of one-headed myosin-V using optical tweezers.
Class V myosin (myosin-V) is a cargo transporter that moves along an actin filament with large (approximately 36-nm) successive steps. It consists of two heads that each includes a motor domain and a long (23 nm) neck domain. One of the more popular models describing these steps, the hand-over-hand...
