Single molecule turnover of fluorescent ATP by myosin and actomyosin unveil elusive enzymatic mechanisms

With fluorescence based-TIRF microspectroscopy, Ušaj et al. unveil mechanistic details about the ATP turnover rates by myosin and actomyosin with enzymatic reaction pathways that were not possible to obtain from ensemble studies. This study could be important to the field of molecular motors.
