Gates and Latches: the mechanochemistry of ATP binding in kinesin 1 and Eg5

This thesis explores the role of mechanochemistry in two biological systems. The first system investigated involves cargo transport along microtubule filaments by Kinesin 1. A gating mechanism is needed to coordinate ATP binding to the two catalytic domains within Kinesin 1 in order to prevent simul...
