Cytoplasmic dynein is a microtubule motor involved in cargo transport, nuclear migration and cell division. Despite structural conservation of the dynein motor domain from yeast to higher eukaryotes, ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

The authors show that polymerase ε's processivity is abrogated by mutation to alanine of three residues in the P domain (His748, Arg749, Lys751) that lie near the phosphate backbone approximately 10 ...
