New Mechanist philosophical models of "phenomenon reconstitution" understand the process to be driven by explanatory considerations. Here I discuss an episode of phenomenon reconstitution that occurred entirely within an experimental program dedicated to characterizing (rather than explaining) the phenomenon of kinesin motility. Rather than being driven by explanatory considerations, as standard mechanist views maintain, I argue that the phenomenon of kinesin motility was reconstituted to enhance researchers’ primary experimental tool—the single molecule motility assay.

足癣：重塑驱动蛋白运动现象

“现象重构”的新机制主义哲学模型理解了解释性考虑因素驱动的过程。在这里，我讨论了一个现象重构事件，该现象完全发生在专门用于表征（而不是解释）驱动蛋白运动现象的实验程序中。我认为，标准的机械师观点并没有受到解释性考虑的驱使，我认为驱动蛋白运动性的现象被重构以增强研究人员的主要实验工具-单分子运动性测定。
