Gliding motility assay using 8mM D2O in solution. Replicate 2/3. ROI 9/15.

• This is a gliding motility assay using kinesin-1 and rhodamine labeled microtubules.• The buffer used was PEM (also known as BRB80) with the inclusion of 8mM D2O.• Images were taken with an Andor Luca EMCCD camera on an Olympus IX-71 microscope using a 60x 1.42NA PlanApo objective.• This fileset is replicate 2/3 and ROI 9/15.• Images were taken to investigate speed variations of microtubules due to the inclusion of D2O in the motility assay.• The temperature of the slide was held constant at 32°C by an objective heater. Early ROIs, i.e. 1-5, have slower giding speeds due to the increasing temperature of the slide which, was prepared at room temperature before observation. After ROI 5 the gliding speed stabilizes.• Pixels lengths were measured to be 166nm/pixel using a stage micrometer.• After the files have downloaded, a simple command line entry will convert the images to a movie.
