#motorheads — Public Fediverse posts

Outstanding. A man bought a retired NASCAR racing truck, put a fake VIN number on it, and tried to sell it at the Carlisle Auto Auction for use on the roads. Billy Bob didn't even change the racing tires. Pennsylvania State Police were not amused.

🚨 NEW PAPER 🚨

Vishakha and colleagues in the Cross group show that ATPγS causes single kinesin molecules to pause under load in an Await-Isomerisation (AI) state that leaks hand-over-hand backsteps.

"ATPγS substantially defeats the biasing mechanism for kinesin steps”

Anne says: The motors are out of quarantine and we plan to assemble in person on 8th May 2026 at University of Warwick Campus for a fun day on motors and the filaments they walk along. Livestream is planned too. More details on registration, travel bursaries etc. will be revealed soon.

Rob says:
Sumiyoshi et al. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39012822/ asks, can kinesin heads tethered via surface loops still drive microtubule gliding? Indeed! Scanning a dsDNA tether across all exposed loops reveals a core mechanical cycle of the motor that underlies, and is amplified by, linker docking.
