Single-molecule measurements of the manipulation of three different DNA motor proteins are reviewed. Despite some differences in the structure and mechanisms of the proteins, there are consistent phenomenological themes that relate them. Each of the experiments described represents a significant advance in the understanding of the mechanisms of DNA transport.
