Reporting their results in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the scientists pinpointed the variant ...

Storing and processing memories uses nanoscopic motor proteins called kinesin that move materials around within neurons to construct the structural code of memory. These nanoscopic workers “walk” ...

Kinesin is a molecular motor that works as a cellular ‘porter’. Its job is to walk along microtubules, carrying membrane-bound bags of chemicals. To do this it must convert the chemical energy ...
