Concept #1: Motor Proteins Create Movement Using Cytoskeleton 

Concept #2: Motor Proteins

Concept #4: Kinesin Moves Towards (+) End of Microtubule

Concept #5: Dynein Moves Towards (-) End of Microtubule

Practice: What are the common features of the motor proteins kinesin and dynein?

Practice: Your lab isolates a new type of motor protein, which is some version of either myosin, kinesin, or dynein but it is unclear exactly what type it is. You hypothesize that the motor protein is NOT myosin. Which of the following is a piece of evidence that would support your hypothesis?
