ATP hydrolysis Directed non-random motion
Different motors have different mechanisms
➢ DIRECTION OF MOTION ➢ SPEED OF THE MOTOR ➢ PROCESSIVITY ➢ FORCE EXERTED DURING A SINGLE STEP
Kinesin – Plus-end-directed Dynein – Minus-end-directed Kinesin step size – 8 nm Kinesin speed – 6 µm/s Fmax Kinesin 10 pN ( ) ~ RNA polymerase – 1000s of bases Muscle myosin – 2-3 steps

➢ What is the mean velocity of a motor? ➢ How does the mean velocity depend on the
applied force?
➢ What is the stall force of the motor? ➢ How does the velocity depend upon the
concentration of ATP?
➢ How stochastic are motor trajectories? ➢ How do binding and unbind rates depend on
applied force?
