The forward and backward stepping processes of kinesin are gated by ATP binding

The kinesin motor converts the chemical energy from ATP turnover into mechanical work, which produces successive 8-nm steps in the forward and backward direction along a microtubule. A key problem for kinesin mechanochemistry is explaining how ATP turnover is coordinated with mechanical work. We inv...
