Detachment, futile cycling, and nucleotide pocket collapse in myosin-V stepping

Myosin-V is a highly processive dimeric protein that walks with 36-nm steps along actin tracks, powered by coordinated adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis reactions in the two myosin heads. No previous theoretical models of the myosin-V walk reproduce all the observed trends of velocity and run...
