The activity of a kinesin is largely determined by the approximately 350 residue motor domain, and this region alone is sufficient to classify a kinesin as a member of a particular family. The kinesin-13 family are a group of microtubule depolymerizi... Read More about A synthetic ancestral kinesin-13 depolymerizes microtubules faster than any natural depolymerizing kinesin.
