Kinesin motor protein dimer C015 / 5921
Kinesin motor protein dimer, molecular model. Kinesin is a motor protein that moves along microtubule filaments in cells. It does so by forming a dimer, the heads of which walk along the microtubule. Here, the heads of the dimer are formed by two protein chains (orange and green, right; and pink and blue, left) that are attached by a neck region (lower centre) where they coil together. This is not the alignment adopted when moving along a microtubule. The structure modelled here is based on studies of this kinesin in the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Kinesin motor protein dimer C015/5921. Representing a significant breakthrough in cell biology, this molecular model provides valuable insights into how Kinesin functions as a motor protein within cells. The image depicts two protein chains, one colored orange and green on the right and another pink and blue on the left, forming the heads of the dimer. These chains are connected by a coiled neck region located at the lower center of the image. It is important to note that this specific alignment shown in the photo is not adopted during movement along microtubule filaments. Based on studies conducted on brown rats (Rattus norvegicus), this structural model offers an exceptional visual representation of Kinesin's role in cellular processes. By moving along microtubules, Kinesin facilitates essential tasks within cells through its unique dimeric configuration. The black background enhances both the aesthetic appeal and scientific significance of this artwork. With its detailed depiction of alpha helices, macromolecules, and molecular structures, this print serves as a testament to advancements made in biochemistry and proteomics research. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning piece combines artistry with scientific precision to capture our fascination with biomolecules and their vital roles in cell motility.
