‘Biased-capturing' model of monomeric kinesins. The model explains the structural basis of plus-end biased binding of monomeric kinesin motors. The monomeric kinesin motor domain is linked to a bead, and the linker determines the direction of rotation of the motor core. The core rotate clockwise only when the motor moves to the forward binding site, which allows ADP release and strong binding of kinesin to the MT.
