Molecular Motors: Methods and Protocols (Methods in by Ann O. Sperry

By Ann O. Sperry

Molecular motor proteins produce strength for flow in a very big variety of mobile strategies. This quantity explores the intense practical and structural variety of molecular automobiles and provides tools suitable to every motor kinfolk. moreover, it describes recommendations directed at automobiles that fall open air of the 3 characterised households: dynamin and F1ATPase.

Indd 32 3/20/2007 3:07:25 PM Characterization of a Plant Kinesin 33 the properties of the complex formed between the inorganic phosphate and molybdate under acid conditions. These assays are useful to study the regulation of MT-dependent and MT-independent ATPase activity of kinesins by other macromolecules that interact with motors. The ATPase assay described here is a simple colorimetric assay based on the change in malachite green with the release of Pi from ATP. The hydrophobic surface of the phosphomolybdate complex binds malachite green dye and shifts the wavelength for the maximum absorbance (16,17).
