How do you remember dynein vs kinesin?
Finally came up with a mnemonic to remember the difference between dynein and kinesin. Dynein sounds like “dine in” → “I dine in when Mercury is in retrograde” (dine in means dynein carries cargo in, M from Mercury is for minus end, and of course the retrograde part is for the retrograde transport)!
What is kinesin used for?
Kinesins are biological motor proteins that are ATP-dependent and function to assist cells with the transport of molecules along microtubules. Simply put, these proteins, function as highways within cells as they allow for the transport of all sorts of cellular cargo.
