Abstract
Protein dynamics generate adaptive cellular architecture. This concept is exemplified by kinetochores, organelles that orchestrate chromosome segregation during mitosis. In this review, we will focus on protein dynamics at kinetochores and discuss how these dynamics impact chromosome motility during mitosis.
