Nat Cell Biol
. 2000 Oct;
2(10):718-23.
PMID: 11025662
Motor proteins such as kinesin, myosin and polymerase convert chemical energy into work through a cycle that involves nucleotide hydrolysis. Kinetic rates in the cycle that depend upon load identify...

Biophys J
. 2000 Mar;
78(4):1965-78.
PMID: 10733975
The elastic response of single plasmid and lambda phage DNA molecules was probed using optical tweezers at concentrations of trivalent cations that provoked DNA condensation in bulk. For uncondensed plasmids,...

. 2000 Mar;
148(5):945-56.
PMID: 10704445
Cytoplasmic dynein is a microtubule-based motor with diverse cellular roles. Here, we use mutations in the dynein heavy chain gene to impair the motor's function, and employ biophysical measurements to...

. 1999 Nov;
77(5):2856-63.
PMID: 10545383
Optical tweezers (infrared laser-based optical traps) have emerged as a powerful tool in molecular and cell biology. However, their usefulness has been limited, particularly in vivo, by the potential for...

PMID: 10408448
Kinesin is a two-headed, ATP-driven motor protein that moves processively along microtubules in discrete steps of 8 nm, probably by advancing each of its heads alternately in sequence. Molecular details...

Biophys J
. 1999 Jan;
76(1 Pt 1):409-13.
PMID: 9876152
We describe a simple computation of the worm-like chain model and obtain the corresponding force-versus-extension curve. We propose an improvement to the Marko and Siggia interpolation formula of Bustamante et...
