Can DNA-nanoparticle motors get up to speed with motor proteins? Researchers use the knowledge of molecular motors to enhance the nanoscale artificial motor in hopes of leveling out the speed ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. This miniature highway system is vital for keeping ...

To some they look like bow-legged cowboys. To others, swaggering pirates. Either way, the two-legged molecules known as motor proteins are what get the job of living done in most of your cells.

Motor proteins and other microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) increase the versatility of the individual microtubules, transforming unitary tubules into architecturally complex assemblies.
