a

Data are mean ± SD; the number of tracked filaments or Qdots are given in parentheses.

b

Standard ensemble motility assay with motors immobilized on the surface.

c

Multiple motors attached to a Qdot moving on an immobilized track.

d

Green fluorescent–labeled actin or actin-Tpm immobilized on the surface as the substratum for ATP-insensitive motor attachment. Red fluorescent–labeled actin or actin-Tpm was flowed in to monitor motility.

e

Red filaments showed longitudinal Brownian motion but no directed motor-driven motion.
