Using electron microscopy and high-speed atomic force microscopy, researchers show the internal molecular motor behind the gliding mechanism for Mycoplasma mobile to consist of two ATP synthase-like ...

ATP synthase is a ubiquitous, highly conserved enzyme that catalyses the formation of ATP from ADP and P i using a unique rotary motor mechanism. The enzyme is located in the inner membrane of ...

To understand the mechanism of kinesin movement we have investigated the relative configuration of the two kinesin motor domains during ATP hydrolysis using fluorescence polarization microscopy of ...

For more than 20 years, Makoto Miyata from Osaka City University has been studying the gliding motility of the parasitic bacterium Mycoplasma mobile (M. mobile). It is a mechanism consisting of an ...
