Multiscale molecular dynamics simulations of rotary motor proteins [PDF]
Biophysical Reviews, 2017 Protein functions require specific structures frequently coupled with conformational changes. The scale of the structural dynamics of proteins spans from the atomic to the molecular level. Theoretically, all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful tool to investigate protein dynamics because the MD simulation is capable of capturing ...

An autonomous molecular transport system using DNAs and motor proteins in molecular communication [PDF]
2007 2nd Bio-Inspired Models of Network, Information and Computing Systems, 2007 This paper describes a molecular transport system in molecular communication that uses the machinery in living cells. The molecular transport system requires: 1) loading of the specified cargo molecules at a loading site (at a sender); 2) transport of the loaded cargoes to an unloading site (to a receiver); and 3) unloading of the transported cargoes ...

MAPping out distribution routes for kinesin couriers [PDF]
, 2013 In the crowded environment of eukaryotic cells, diffusion is an inefficient distribution mechanism for cellular components. Long-distance active transport is required and is performed by molecular motors including kinesins.

Molecular motors in nanobiotechnology: Protein and DNA based molecular motors: A review
Results in ChemistryMolecular motor can be defined as the collection of a separate number of molecular features (that is, a supramolecular structure) which has been developed to carry out a function through the mechanical movements of its components, which occurs when it is appropriately stimulated externally. Therefore, molecular motors include a part with a motor, which

Editorial to the Special Issue “Molecular Motors: From Single Molecules to Cooperative and Regulatory Mechanisms In Vivo” [PDF]
, 2022 The Molecular motors or motor proteins are able to generate force and do mechanical work that is used to displace a load or produce relative movements between molecules or macromolecular assembles [...

Actomyosin organelle functions of SPIRE actin nucleators precede animal evolution
Communications BiologyAn important question in cell biology is how cytoskeletal proteins evolved and drove the development of novel structures and functions. Here we address the origin of SPIRE actin nucleators.

Dynamics of molecular motors in reversible burnt-bridge models
Condensed Matter Physics, 2010 Dynamic properties of molecular motors whose motion is powered by interactions with specific lattice bonds are studied theoretically with the help of discrete-state stochastic "burnt-bridge" models.
