Kinesin and muscle myosin are both motor proteins with some shared and some distinct characteristics. Which of the following is not true? - Both are mechanoenzymes that use the chemical energy of ATP to produce mechanical forces. - Both have coiled-coil tails. - Both must execute their movement very rapidly with almost no time spent touching the filament. - Muscle myosin and kinesin walk down filaments toward their respective ends.
