image: Cryo-EM reconstruction of dynein's microtubule-binding domain bound to a microtubule and pseudo-atomic model of the complex; micrograph, average of microtubule decorated with dynein's microtubule-binding domain and frame from single-molecule tracking of walking dynein. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the September 21, 2012, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by William Redwine at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., and colleagues was titled, "Structural Basis for Microtubule Binding and Release by Dynein." view more
