Light-driven molecular motors [PDF]
, 2004 Molecular motors can be defined as molecules that are able to convert any type of energy input (a fuel) into controlled motion. These systems can be categorized into linear and rotary motors, depending on the motion induced.

Current-induced mechanical torque in chiral molecular rotors
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2023 There has been great endeavor to engineer molecular rotors operated by an electrical current. A frequently met operation principle is the transfer of angular momentum taken from the incident flux.

Dynamic mechanisms of cell rigidity sensing: insights from a computational model of actomyosin networks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Cells modulate themselves in response to the surrounding environment like substrate elasticity, exhibiting structural reorganization driven by the contractility of cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is the scaffolding structure of eukaryotic cells, playing a

Universal and unique features of kinesin motors: Insights from a comparison of fungal and animal conventional kinesins [PDF]
, 1999 Kinesins are microtubule motors that use the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP to move unidirectionally along microtubules, The founding member of this still growing superfamily is conventional kinesin, a dimeric motor that moves processively ...

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

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.
