Abstract
The study of motor protein dynamics within cytoskeletal networks is of high interest to physicists and biologists to understand how the dynamics and properties of individual motors lead to cooperative effects and control of overall network behaviour. Here, we report a method to detect and track muscular myosin II filaments within an actin network tethered to supported lipid bilayers. Based on the characteristic shape of myosin II filaments, this automated tracking routine allowed us to follow the position and orientation of myosin II filaments over time, and to reliably classify their dynamics into segments of diffusive and processive motion based on the analysis of displacements and angular changes between time steps. This automated, high throughput method will allow scientists to efficiently analyse motor dynamics in different conditions, and will grant access to more detailed information than provided by common tracking methods, without any need for time consuming manual tracking or generation of kymographs.
