What kinesin does at roadblocks: the coordination mechanism for molecular walking

Competing models for the coordination of processive stepping in kinesin can be tested by introducing a roadblock to prevent lead head attachment. We used T93N, an irreversibly binding mutant monomer, as a roadblock, and measured the rates of nucleotide‐induced detachment of kinesin monomers or dimer...
