Motor Protein Driven Transport of Microtubules

Motor Protein Driven Transport of Microtubules

explorebiology.org/collections/cell-biology/motility-in-a-test-tube Motor proteins transport microtubules across a glass microscope slide (2X real speed). This assay enabled the identification of the motor protein kinesin.
