Developed a highly sensitive technique to measure the force exerted by a single kinesin motor molecule, finding the stopping force to be 5.4 +/- 1.0 pN.

Benchmarks kinesin stall force in vitro; extends biophysical models but leaves open relevance to cardiovascular motor proteins.
Meyhöfer et al. (1995) studied this question.
