Light-Powered Work driven by Molecular Motors [PDF]
, 2023 Molecular machines are small chemical compounds that can operate certain functions on demand at the smallest scale. These small machines can be powered in their operation depending on how they are designed, sometimes using chemicals, sometimes using ...

A programmable optical angle clamp for rotary molecular motors [PDF]
, 2007 Optical tweezers are widely used for experimental investigation of linear molecular motors. The rates and force dependence of steps in the mechanochemical cycle of linear motors have been probed giving detailed insight into motor mechanisms. With similar

Microtubules: A network for solitary waves [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2017 In the present paper we deal with nonlinear dynamics of microtubules. The structure and role of microtubules in cells are explained as well as one of models explaining their dynamics.

Performance scaling and trade-offs for collective motor-driven transport
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Motor-driven intracellular transport of organelles, vesicles, and other molecular cargo is a highly collective process. An individual cargo is often pulled by a team of transport motors, with numbers ranging from only a few to several hundred. We explore

First-passage times in complex energy landscapes: a case study with nonmuscle myosin II assembly
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Complex energy landscapes often arise in biological systems, e.g. for protein folding, biochemical reactions, or intracellular transport processes. Their physical effects are frequently reflected in the first-passage times (FPTs) arising from these ...

The force exerted by a molecular motor [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 The stochastic driving force exerted by a single molecular motor (e.g., a kinesin, or myosin) moving on a periodic molecular track (microtubule, actin filament, etc.) is discussed from a general viewpoint open to experimental test. An elementary “barometric” relation for the driving force is introduced that ( i

Cellular Motors for Molecular Manufacturing [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2007 AbstractCells are composed of macromolecular structures of various sizes that act individually or collectively to maintain their viability and perform their function within the organism. This review focuses on one structure, the microtubule, and one of the motor proteins that move along it, conventional kinesin (kinesin 1).
