Abstract: Much of biological motion can be attributed to proteins called Molecular Motors. These "Motors" are mechano-chemical enzymes that can generate tiny picoNewton forces, and contribute critically to creating and maintaining cellular order and organization. In cells, they typically function in groups. This talk will discuss our experimental evidence for how many motors typically function together in cells, and will then address how group motor function differs from single-motor function, where such differences are likely important, and how the function of the motors can be regulated.
