Measuring microtubule binding kinetics of membrane-bound kinesin motors using supported lipid bilayers

Summary: Membrane-bound cargos in cells are generally transported by multiple kinesin motors. Quantifying the bimolecular on-rate of motors for their microtubule track is important for understanding of multi-motor transport but is complicated by diffusion of the motors in the plane of the lipid bila...
