also called molecular machines, are either natural or synthetic molecules that convert chemical energy into mechanical forces and motion. An example of a biological motor is the protein kinesin ...

In their important manuscript, Chen et al. investigate the phospho-regulation of the C. elegans kinesin-2 motor protein OSM-3, revealing that the kinase, NEKL-3, phosphorylates a serine/threonine ...

By exploiting biomolecular-motor-based motility and DNA hybridization, we demonstrate that single-stranded DNA-labeled microtubules gliding on kinesin-coated surfaces ... Our results will help to ...

Cornell researchers are demonstrating how artificial intelligence—particularly deep learning and generative modeling—can ...

Mutation of Lis1, a key dynein regulator, can lead to the rare mental developmental disorder lissencephaly, or “smooth brain,” where the brain’s surface lacks the normal folds and grooves, for which ...
