Flexural Stiffness of Myosin Va Subdomains as Measured from Tethered Particle Motion
Table 1
Calculated tethered motions and mechanical properties of MyoVa subdomains. The tethered motions and mechanical properties ± propagated standard errors are derived from image size parameters for the tethered Qdot () and reference Qdot () (see Section 2). The numbers of measured particles in the tethered () and reference states () for each domain are presented. The tether lengths () are those presented in Figure 2. Persistence length is given for the S1 subdomain but is not applicable for more complex geometries.
