A Generalized Kinetic Model for Coupling between Stepping and ATP Hydrolysis of Kinesin Molecular Motors
A general kinetic model is presented for the chemomechanical coupling of dimeric kinesin molecular motors with and without extension of their neck linkers (NLs). A peculiar feature of the model is that the rate constants of ATPase activity of a kinesin head are independent of the strain on its NL, i...
