Knoblauch M., Noll G.A., Prüfer D., Jaag H., Fontanellaz M.E., Schneider-Hüther I., van Bel A.J.E., Peters W.S., Fraunhofer Institute IME, DE
Motor-proteins are the basis of the dynamic three dimensional organization of the living cell. Most motor-proteins are driven by energetically favorable reactions such as ATP hydrolysis. We here describe anisotropic contractility in forisomes, protein bodies [...]
