DNA Recombination and Repair—A New Twist to RecA Function
...nical force. Well-known examples of motors include myosin and dynein, proteins that use ATP to ferry intracellular cargo along fibers made of actin or tubulin proteins. The ATP-dependent assembly of actin or tubulin fibers itself can work as a motor: for instance, the march of white blood cells toward patho...UI researcher studies deafness in fruit flies, humans
