Diffusion Mediated Transport in Multiple State Systems
Intracellular transport in eukarya is attributed to motor proteins that transduce chemical energy into directed mechanical motion. Nanoscale motors like kinesins tow organelles and other cargo on microtubules or filaments, have a role separating the mitotic spindle during the cell cycle, and perform many other functions. The simplest description gives rise to a weakly coupled system of evolutio...
متن کاملEnhanced transport through desorption-mediated diffusion.
We present a master equation approach to the study of the bulk-mediated surface diffusion mechanism in a three-dimensional confined domain. The proposed scheme allowed us to evaluate analytically a number of magnitudes that were used to characterize the efficiency of the bulk-mediated surface transport mechanism, for instance, the mean escape time from the domain, and the mean number of distinc...
متن کاملDiffusion Mediated Transport and the Brownian Motor
We describe a dissipation principle/variational principle which may be useful in modeling motion in small viscous systems and provide brief illustrations to brownian motor or molecular rachet situations which are found in intracellular transport.
متن کاملDiffusion mediated transport and the flashing ratchet
Diffusion mediated transport is a phenomenon in which a unidirectional motion of particles is achieved as a result of two opposing tendencies: diffusion, which spreads the particles uniformly through the medium and transport, which concentrates the particles at some special sites. The flashing ratchet version of the Brownian motor, a simple model for protein motors, where the switching between ...
متن کاملAnomalous Transport and Diffusion in Percolation Systems
Many disordered systems can be modelled by percolation. Applications of this standard model range from amorphous and porous media to composites, branched polymers, gels and complex ionic conductors. In this brief review we give a short introduction to percolation theory and describe applications in materials science. We start with the structural properties of percolation clusters and their subs...
