New moves for myosin;http://f1000.com/6250962?key=wdd8tywq8bcwg4p In order to transport intracellular cargo within a cell, the motor protein myosin V walks along actin filaments by sweeping one of its arms over the other in a series of microscopic steps, researchers confirmed using high-speed atomic force microscopy. This highly detailed, real-time imaging also revealed new features of the myosin walk, such as "stomping," where one of the arms briefly detaches from the actin, and then reattaches in the same spot.N.
