Motor proteins are enzymes that are responsible for molecular transport. Those proteins convert the chemical energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP directly into mechanical work and are necessary for the eukaryotic cell to achieve complex organizational and structural tasks. Motor proteins allow efficient transport of molecular structures and organelles such as vesicles, mitochondria, and chromosomes which is necessary since diffusion is too slow to efficiently move material from one part of the cell to another on physiological time scales [1]. This ability to control cellular transport...
