Ron Vale (UCSF, HHMI) 1: Molecular Motor Proteins
Science Communication Lab
Ron Vale of UCSF and HHMI gives an introductory lecture on kinesin, dynein and myosin motor proteins. He covers their roles in cells and how they turn ATP hydrolysis into directed motion and force.
HN commenters point to it to show how strange and mechanical cellular machinery is, and to explain how kinesin walks along microtubules.
