Line Plot from Scientific Research

The EEA1 motor system can perform mechanical work against an opposing external force, and the collapse work can be measured using optical tweezers. Here the collapsing two-component EEA1Rab5 complex (red curve and arrow) moves microspheres against the opposing restoring force of the optical traps (yellow curve and arrow) until an equilibrium is reached (intersection between the red and yellow curves). This protocol has been experimentally realized in a dual-trap experiment 7 .
