Book Chapter Description

Motor proteins, not only actin- and microtubule-based motors but also many other mechanoenzymes, are the most fascinating targets for HS-AFM imaging because their structure (topography), dynamics and function can be directly and simultaneously displayed in filmed images. This makes a striking contrast to, for example, active transporters that pump or transport ions and small molecules across the membrane; these transport activities hardly appear on HS-AFM images. Nevertheless, few motor proteins have yet been imaged with HS-AFM. This chapter focuses on HS-AFM studies on canonical motor proteins, myosin V and F-ATPase. HS-AFM studies on noncanonical motor proteins are described in other chapters.
