Understanding Motor Proteins and Cytoskeletal Dynamics in Cell Biology
Motor proteins, such as myosin, kinesin, and dynein, utilize chemical energy to move along cellular tracks, influencing processes like muscle contraction, organelle movements, and cellular migration. With the ability to translocate using ATP hydrolysis, these proteins play crucial roles in various c

Understanding the Roles of Kinesin and Dynein in Cellular Transport
Explore the functions of Kinesin and Dynein, two vital motor proteins involved in intracellular transport. Kinesin drives anterograde movement, while Dynein facilitates retrograde transport along microtubules in cells. Discover the structure, mechanism, and functions of these essential proteins in c
