Concept explainers
To explain: The insufficiency in mediating the direct movement by the elements.
Introduction:
Motor proteins are the specialized group of proteins that can act as molecular motors in order to travel along the protein filaments within the cell by hydrolyzing the ATP. This protein plays a major role in the muscle contraction for the movement of the eukaryotic cells, division of the chromosomes during meiosis and mitosis, and also to perform many other cellular functions.
To modify: The Fig. Q4-19 given in the problem to generate a unidirectional motor.
