Productive Cooperation among Processive Motors Depends Inversely on Their Mechanochemical Efficiency

Subcellular cargos are often transported by teams of processive molecular motors, which raises questions regarding the role of motor cooperation in intracellular transport. Although our ability to characterize the transport behaviors of multiple-motor systems has improved substantially, many aspects...
