A programmable DNA origami nanospring that reveals force-induced adjacent binding of myosin VI heads

Characterizing the mechanical response of molecular motors involves the use of methods such as optical trapping to apply force. Here the authors develop a DNA origami nanospring to apply progressive force to human myosin VI, and discover that it adopts different stepping modes when subjected to low...
