"" An experiment was performed to determine the role that ATP plays in kinesin movement along microtubules. Kinesin and microtubules were incubated together in a test tube, but instead of ATP, a non-hydrolyzable analog of ATP was added to the tube. What impact on kinesin function do you expect to observe in the presence of this ATP analog?

Answer :

Answer:

There will be no movement of kinesin protein along microtubules.

Explanation:

ATP or adenosine tri phosphate is an energy rich compound which undergo hydrolysis to generate free energy that is utilized by the cell to carry out various cellular and biological process such as movement of kinesin along microtubules.

 Accoeding to the given question if the kinesin and microtubules are incubated with non hydrolyzable ATP analog instead of ATP then there will be no movement of kinesin along microtubules due lack of free energy.

 As non hydrolyzable ATP anolog is used it will unable to undergo hydrolysis to generate free energy.
