Tuesday April 19, 2011. Microtubule gliding assay / kinesin modeling

  • Apology for being sick / missing so much. Reiterate the goals of the class
    • Learn some molecular biophysics
    • More importantly: learn resources for doing molecular biophysics research (PDB, OpenWetWare, S30, Mendeley, Figshare, etc.)
  • Assignment due Tuesday April 26
  • What is going on in gliding assay?
    • Andy video dissertation
    • Kinesin modeling (mostly Larry)
      • Neck linker docking
        • What is best way to model tension in the neck linker (chain of amino acids)
        • GROUP WORK: In the two-headed bound state, does neck-linker docking INCREASE or DECREASE or KEEP SAME the tension
          • (A) Back head docks; (B) Front head docks
          • Discuss with partner and make answers for (A) and (B)
