A Dimeric Kinesin-1 Molecule Has 8-Nm Steps and Can Move

question 70

Short Answer

A dimeric kinesin-1 molecule has 8-nm steps and can move at rates of about 1 µm/sec. Olympic 100-meter sprinters typically run at about 180 steps per minute and can reach speeds of about 42 km/h. With the same step size, if the Olympic runner had a step frequency of a kinesin-1 molecule, how fast could she run? Write down your answer in km/h, e.g. 52 km/h.

Definitions:

Abstract Class

A class that cannot be instantiated and is designed to be subclassed, often containing one or more abstract methods which must be implemented by subclasses.

Inner Class

A class defined within another class in Java, useful for logically grouping classes that are only used in one place, improving encapsulation.

Non Static Members

Elements of a class that are specific to each instance and not shared across instances, unlike static members.

Static

A keyword in programming that indicates a member belongs to the class, rather than instances of it, often used for methods and variables.
