| Summary |
Dyneins are biological molecular motors that move along microtubules and drive a surprisingly wide range of essential cellular processes such as beating of cilia and flagella, vesicular transport and mitosis. Although the protein was discovered nearly half a century ago, research into its complex array of interactions began quite slowly but has progressed with steadily increasing success. Current understanding of dynein's mechanism and functional roles have reached a high level and new avenues have been opened up, ready for deeper investigation in this very active field.
