Essay
The kinetic properties of myosin have been optimized such that it moves very rapidly along actin filaments. Specifically, this movement is accomplished by myosin's very brief attachments to the microfilament along which it moves. In contrast, kinesin moves along microtubules more slowly, with longer periods of attachment between each "step." How might these differences be explained in evolutionary terms?
