Goodman, 22 Kinesin is a dimeric motor protein that travels processively towards the microtubule plus end by taking 8 nm steps, which corresponds to the distance between adjacent alpha/beta tubulin binding sites. R. Vale and R. Milligan, 2 Rotation scheme of V1-motor The V1 was fixed on the Ni-NTA coated glass surface with amino-terminal His1-tags of the A subunits. A duplex bead was attached to the subunit through biotin strptavidin linkage. H. Imamura, 25 Protein engineering methods in the change information space R. J. Kazlauskas & U. T. Bornscheuer, 29
