What are the common features of the motor proteins kinesin and dynein? I. Both types of motor proteins bind microtubules. II. Both types of motor proteins bind and hydrolyze ATP. III. Both types of motor proteins undergo conformational changes when the motor travels. IV. Both types of motor proteins "step" from one tubulin to another.

A major method of intracellular transport involves motor proteins interacting with microtubules. In your own words, describe how kinesin and dynein transport materials around inside a cell (for example: up and down a long axon connecting the cell body with the axon terminal). What are the major similarities between these two proteins? What is the major difference? What would happen if microtubules were not polarized?
