Скачать или смотреть Mutant myosins

Zev Bryant, professor of bioengineering at Stanford University, and his team watched their mutant myosins move underneath a microscope. While their natural counterparts shuttle biological molecules inside cells, these motors carry fluorescent dye molecules along actin tracks (shown in red) set up on a microscope slide, allowing the Bryant group to track their motion. The green dots are four-handed myosins motoring along actin tracks. Once a myosin attaches, it hangs on tight and stays on the track for micrometers — the length scale of cells.
