Crystal structure of Zen4 in the apo state reveals a missing conformation of kinesin

Kinesins are molecular motors that travel along microtubules through a nucleotide-dependent stepping mechanism. Here the authors present the crystal structure of Zen4 (kinesin-6) in an apo state that sheds light on a key stepping intermediate of kinesin.
