Directional Motility

Directional Motility is a biophysical phenomenon characterized by the coordinated, vectorial movement of motor proteins along cytoskeletal filaments, distinguished from random or diffusive motility by its intrinsic polarity and persistent orientation determined by the structural asymmetry of the track and the enzymatic cycle of the motor protein.
