  • Title: Kinesins and microtubules: their structures and motor mechanisms.
    Author: Sablin EP.
    Journal: Curr Opin Cell Biol; 2000 Feb; 12(1):35-41. PubMed ID: 10679355.
    Abstract:
    Atomic resolution three-dimensional structures of two oppositely directed kinesin motors - conventional kinesin and non-claret disjunctional (ncd) protein - are now available in their functional dimeric form. A detailed model of the microtubule has also been recently obtained by docking the 3.7 A structure of tubulin into a 20 A map of the microtubule. Recent structural studies of kinesin motors and their microtubule tracks are contributing to our current understanding of kinesin motor mechanisms.
