ATPase: It generates this force using an ATPase either coupled with the myosin/kinesin or inherent within the head, the inherent ATPase uses a P-loop, which is a phosphate- binding loop used in adenylate kinase, Ras, and others. Both also create a similar environment for the γ-phosphate, which uses a conserve motif of Ser-Ser-Arg.<ref name= "RAS">doi: 10.1038/380550a0</ref>

In kinesin, the binding of ATP greatly increases the binding of kinesin to the microtubules, to allow it to perform a power stroke. The cleft uses His 93, Pro 17 and Arg 16 to hold ATP. The lack of these loops allows kinesin to react with ATP much faster.

RAS fold: conserved domain among many signaling proteins. A structural motif where a nucleotide molecule is bound to loops at one end of a β-sheet domain. This suggests that myosin and kinesin may have evolved from a common ancestor.<ref name= "RAS"/>
