Dynein swings into action.
Motor proteins, such as dynein, use chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis to move along the cytoskeleton. Roberts et al. (2009) now describe the arrangement of subdomains in the motor domain of dynein and propose a model for how these regions function together in force generation.
