Fluctuation analysis of mechanochemical coupling depending on the type of biomolecular motors.

Mechanochemical coupling was studied for myosin II and V consistently. The fluctuation in myosin V motility was determined by correlating the stochasticity of the ATPase reaction with regular displacements per one ATP, consistent with a tight mechanochemical coupling. In contrast, myosin II, working in an ensemble, was explained by a loose coupling, generating variable step sizes which depend on [ATP] and realizing a much larger step (200 nm) per one ATP than myosin V through its cooperativity at zero load. These different mechanics are ideal for their physiological functions.
