Neck Linker Length Changes
Now that i have the normal conditions for the neck linker length
13 aa neck linker
26 aa full neck
.38 nm per aa
persistence length of .8 nm
I want to make a graph of longer neck lengths and see if processivity goes down (hopefully) so i'll write the numbers down here so i don't get confused
14 aa neck linker
- 14 aa neck linker = 5.32 nm
- 28 aa full neck = 10.64 nm
- 18 aa docked neck = 6.84 nm
- 8 aa double docked = 3.04 nm
15 aa neck linker
- 15 aa neck linker = 5.7 nm
- 30 aa full neck = 11.4 nm
- 20 aa docked neck = 7.6 nm
- 10 aa double docked = 3.8 nm
16 aa neck linker
- 16 aa neck linker = 6.08 nm
- 32 aa full neck = 12.16 nm
- 22 aa docked neck = 8.36 nm
- 12 aa double docked = 4.56 nm
17 aa neck linker
- 17 aa neck linker = 6.46 nm
- 34 aa full neck = 12.92 nm
- 24 aa docked neck = 9.12 nm
- 14 aa double docked = 5.32 nm
Good that should be enough
 Here are the two graphs. Both the graphs' x-axis is neck lengthin aa. the y axis on the left graph is run length, and the y-axis on the right graph is velocity Unfortunately the processivity increased with neck length, but the velocity went down that was interesting
