The Kinesin Home Page is an excellent resource. Many of our protocols probably evolved from there, which in turn were obtained from prior work of others. It's tough to know who to cite on these protocols, so please send us a note if you'd like us to cite it properly.
Chemicals
- ATP suspension
- GTP suspension
- Taxol suspension
