Concept explainers
To explain: The insufficiency in mediating the direct movement by the elements.
Introduction: Motor proteins are the specialized group of molecular motors in order to travel along the cytoskeletal filaments within the cell by hydrolyzing the ATP. These proteins play a major role in the muscle contraction for the movement of the eukaryotic cells, division of the chromosomes during meiosis and mitosis, and also perform many other cellular functions.
To modify: The illustration given in the question with reference to Fig. 4-50 in textbook to include other elements that are needed to create a unidirectional motor protein and justify each modifications.
Introduction: Motor proteins are class of molecular motors that converts chemical energy to mechanical energy by ATP hydrolysis.
