Description for Kinesin Protocols
Hardback. Presents techniques for the identification, purification, and characterization of the kinesin superfamily of microtubule-dependent motors. This book includes methods to express and purify kinesins in different systems, to characterize microtubule-enhanced ATPase activity and motility properties, and to test microtubule destabilizing activity. Editor(s): Vernos, Isabelle. Series: Methods in Molecular Biology. Num Pages: 258 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PDN; PSAK; PSD; PSF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 559.
By the end of the 1980s only two microtubule-dependent motors, the plus end-directed kinesin and the minus end-directed cytoplasmic dynein, had been identified. At the time, these two motors seemed almost sufficient to explain directional motility events on polar microtubule tracks in the cell. No- theless, shortly after, the tip of the iceberg began to emerge with the identi- cation of proteins containing in their sequences a domain found in kinesin. This domain, called the “motor domain,” conferred on these proteins the essential property of moving on microtubules, using the energy derived from ATP hydro- sis. Since then, the identification ...

Reviews for Kinesin Protocols
"This is a concise but comprehensive book that would be a valuable reference for any researcher who wishes to study this important cytoplasmic motor protein. It would be a valuable book to have in the laboratory as well as a useful reference book in a life sciences library. "-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
