Photo-control of kinesin-microtubule motility using caged peptides derived from the kinesin C-terminus domain.
To design a nanoscale biodevice that can be controlled by an external stimulus, we have introduced photochemical switching peptides derived from the kinesin C-terminus domain into the kinesin-microtubule in vitro motility system.
