Question

During evolution of the myosin superfamily different myosins diverged in such a way that each is adapted to the specific task that it carries out. In lecture, we discussed three properties of myosin motors that vary among family members that underwent adaptation. What are those properties?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is : The three properties are: Duty ratio, step size and tail interactions, that specify which charge attaches to the motor.

Explanation: The engines that belong to the myosione superfamily are associated with cellular functions such as: muscle contraction, chemotaxis, vesicle transport, cytokinesis.
