Cytoskeletal Motor Proteins

Cytoskeletal Motor Proteins

Molecular motor proteins are fascinating enzymes that power much of the movement performed by living organisms. This pathway explores how motor proteins function and the tools researchers use to determine their mechanisms of action. This pathway is the sixth session of the Cell Biology Flipped Course from iBiology.
