Coarse-Grained Simulation of Myosin-V Movement

Figure 4

Step traces. These are sample step traces for each of the (a) myoV-2IQ, (b) myoV-4IQ, and (c) myoV-6IQ simulations showing typical staircase events. Trajectories for head 1 in are in dark blue, and head 2 in light blue. A clear example of a backstep is shown enlarged in part (c). axis is frame number, while axis is actin position/number. Note the difference in scales.
