Figure 2.

A selection of minimum energy configurations of the tightly coupled dimeric dynein molecule depending on the linker position of the (left/right) heads and for different relative positions m,n of the two MTBDs (right head is attached m tubulin dimers along and n protofilaments to the side with respect to the left one). D denotes the head with the linker in the poststroke position and D^∗ in the prestroke position. Below each configuration is the corresponding elastic energy. To see this figure in color, go online.
