The crowding dynamics of the motor protein kinesin-II. by Vandana S Kushwaha, Seyda Acar, Daniël M Miedema, Dmitry V Denisov, Peter Schall, Erwin J G Peterman

“…Intraflagellar transport (IFT) in C. elegans chemosensory cilia is an example of functional coordination and cooperation of two motor proteins with distinct motility properties operating together in large groups to transport cargoes: a fast and processive homodimeric kinesin-2, OSM-3, and a slow and less processive heterotrimeric kinesin-2, kinesin-II. …”

Phenomenological analysis of ATP dependence of motor proteins. by Yunxin Zhang

“…In this study, through phenomenological comparison of the velocity-force data of processive motor proteins, including conventional kinesin, cytoplasmic dynein and myosin V, I found that, the ratio between motor velocities of two different ATP concentrations is almost invariant for any substall, superstall or negative external loads. …”

Navigation Strategies of Motor Proteins on Decorated Tracks. by Zsolt Bertalan, Zoe Budrikis, Caterina A M La Porta, Stefano Zapperi

“…Motor proteins display widely different stepping patterns as they move on microtubule tracks, from the deterministic linear or helical motion performed by the protein kinesin to the uncoordinated random steps made by dynein. …”

Extreme-value analysis of intracellular cargo transport by motor proteins by Takuma Naoi, Yuki Kagawa, Kimiko Nagino, Shinsuke Niwa, Kumiko Hayashi

“…Abstract The mechanisms underlying the chemo-mechanical coupling of motor proteins is usually described by a set of force-velocity relations that reflect the different mechanisms responsible for the walking behavior of such proteins on microtubules. …”
