Abstract: Molecular motors move along polymer tracks (such as actin filaments) in nanometre-scale steps corresponding to hydrolysis of single ATP molecules. But two studies on myosin — the motor protein in muscle — show that each interaction with actin can include two or more sub-steps per ATP hydrolysed.
