説明

The motilities of life are produced by motor proteins, for example, myosin molecule in muscle contraction, kinesin molecule in vesicle transportation. We reviewed the mechanics reaction and single ATP turnover of individual kinesin and myosin molecules. The displacement of kinesin during force generation bound to bead was determined by measuring the position of the beads with nanometer accuracy. The analysis of movement indicates that each kinesin head mainly steps by 16 urn between the binding sites while kinesin molecules exist at 8 nm intervals. The single ATP turnover was observed using fluorescence labeled ATP. The results suggest that myosin has a memory state which stores chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis.
