Stiffness of Cargo-Motor Linkage Tunes Myosin VI Motility and Response to Load.

abstract：:Light-induced activation of the LOV2-Jα domain of the photoreceptor phototropin from oat is believed to involve the detachment of the Jα helix from the central β-sheet and its subsequent unfolding. The dynamics of these conformational changes were monitored by time-resolved emission spectroscopy with 100 ns time resol...
