Coarse-Grained Simulation of Myosin-V Movement
Table 2
Binding state coexistence in the two myosin “legs.” The binding state of each myosin leg can be either free, in loose or tight binding or in the latter state after the powerstroke has swung. Combinations of these four states were counted for both leg-1 and leg-2 over ten circuits of the track. Counts were tabulated for the default model (good leg) and a more flexible myosin (weak leg). As no significant difference was seen between symmetric counts (leg-1/2 and leg-2/1), these were combined and the (weak-good) difference taken.
