Figure 3. Comparisons between theoretical results obtained based on BR model and experimental data for different species of kinesin. Lines are theoretical results, and symbols are experimental data at saturating ATP (1 mM). Left panels (a)–(c) are for bovine brain kinesin, with the theoretical results calculated with parameter values given in table 1 and the experimental data taken from Nishiyama et al [23]. Right panels (d)–(f) are for Drosophila kinesin, with the theoretical results calculated with parameter values given in table 1 under experimental condition of Carter and Cross [25] and the experimental data taken from Carter and Cross [25]. (a), (d) Stepping ratio versus load. (b), (e) Velocity versus load. (c), (f) Dwell time versus load.
