Scientists Solve Mystery Of How Largest Cellular Motor Protein Powers Movement – how the protein dynein fuels itself to perform cellular functions vital to life.
Scientists now understand how an important protein converts chemical energy to mechanical force, thus powering the process of cell division, thanks to a new structural model by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers.
The structural model helps solve a scientific mystery: how the protein dynein fuels itself to perform cellular functions vital to life. These functions include mitosis, or cell division into identical cells.
