It is known that the flagella perform a propeller-like movement with a specific handedness resulting from the gear-like structure of their molecular motors.
Step-size measurements have clarified the stepping mechanism of molecular motors.
Although much work has been done on molecular motors using these techniques, there are still a number of questions that can be answered with them.
Presumably the machinery for release-ribbons, molecular motors, tethering proteins, etc-is energetically expensive to maintain and bulky, and so an overcapacity for release would be wasteful.
In addition, we present their applications to molecular motors.
The observed results supply us with the newly proposed mechanism of molecular motors.
They have contributed to the solution of other controversial problems regarding molecular motors.
Peroxisomes showed a variety of speeds, which suggests that a different number of molecular motors carry a single vesicle.
We explain new understanding of molecular motors obtained from measurements using these techniques.
Recently, new techniques that can measure the position of fluorophores at the nanometer scale allow research into previously inaccessible areas of molecular motors, such as the stepping mechanism.
