Using a rotation tester when installing a motor saves time and prevents problems such as driving the load backward. In some cases, you must get the motor rotation correct or massive damage will occur.

Until recently all characterized myosin motors have been shown to move towards the barbed end of actin filaments. As unconventional myosins are involved in diverse transport processes occurring along ...

The flagellar motor rotates bi-directionally in counter-clockwise (CCW) and clockwise (CW) directions. The motor consists of a stator and a rotor. Recent structural studies have revealed that the ...

Inside cells, tiny molecular motors spin to synthesize biomolecules or walk to transport cellular cargo. Scientists want to copy these motors to make nanomachines, but so far synthetic motors have ...
