Processive Movement by a Kinesin Heterodimer with an Inactivating Mutation in One Head

[Image: see text] A single molecule of the motor enzyme kinesin-1 keeps a tight grip on its microtubule track, making tens or hundreds of discrete, unidirectional 8 nm steps before dissociating. This high duty ratio processive movement is thought to require a mechanism in which alternating stepping...
