| Value | 0.25 pN/nm Range: 0.1 pN/nm |
|---|---|
| Organism | Eukaryotes |
| Reference | C Veigel, S Schmitz, F Wang, and JR Sellers. Load-dependent kinetics of myosin-V can explain its high processivity. Nat. Cell Biol., 7:861–869, 2005.PubMed ID16100513 |
| Method | Single myosin V molecule in dumbbell assay. |
| Comments | Stiffness depends on whether the motor is bound with one or with two heads. |
