To study motor function on microtubules scientists can create purified stable fluorescently labeled microtubules and motors different colors and watch movement of the kinesin walking along the microtubule using a fluorescence microscopy This allows scientists to analyze the kinetics of kinesin movement velocity of movement what regulates movement etc A How might you expect that molecular biologists create stable and labeled microtubules for this experiment B Based on what you know about how kinesin motor activity is regulated by ATP ADP and nucleotide release what do you think would happen if you added only ADP to this rather than ATR12
