If you were comparing the molecular structure of kinesin and dynein, which part (heads or tails) would you expect to be most similar between them? Why?
the cytoskeleton and cell motility - Because cytoplasmic vesicles are seen to move in both directions within an axon, can you conclude that some microtubules are oriented with their plus end facing the axon terminus and others oriented ...
myosin action differs from that of kinesin - myosin action differs from that of kinesin in that one of the kinesin heads is always in contact with a microtubule, whereas both myosin heads become completely detached from the actin filament. How ...
cell signaling - CA2+, IP3, and cAMP have all been described as second messengers. In what ways are their mechanisms of action similar? In what ways are they different? If you were comparing the molecular structure ...
Cytoskeleton - What function does the Cytoskeleton serve? Thanks
tubulin - A standard procedure in pufying tubulin is to extract the tissue on ice, then add GTP and warm the tissue extract to 37C. The warmed extract is then centrifuged at a speed insufficient to pellet avera ...
