Dynamic stability of spindles controlled by molecular motor kinetics
We analyze the role of the force-dependent kinetics of motor proteins in the stability of antiparallel arrays of polar filaments, such as those in the mitotic spindle. We determine the possible stable structures and show that there exists an instability associated to the collective behavior of motors that leads to the collapse of the structure. The agreement of our results and several experimen...
متن کاملControlled stability of molecular junctions.
Using single molecules as the building blocks of electronic devices is the ultimate goal of molecular electronics. However, measuring, understanding and manipulating the transport of charge through molecules attached to nanosized electrodes remain difficult tasks. It is thus important to fabricate molecular junctions exhibiting reproducible and stable electrical response and to evaluate their p...
متن کاملdynamic coloring of graph
در این پایان نامه رنگ آمیزی دینامیکی یک گراف را بیان و مطالعه می کنیم. یک –kرنگ آمیزی سره ی رأسی گراف g را رنگ آمیزی دینامیکی می نامند اگر در همسایه های هر رأس v?v(g) با درجه ی حداقل 2، حداقل 2 رنگ متفاوت ظاهر شوند. کوچکترین عدد صحیح k، به طوری که g دارای –kرنگ آمیزی دینامیکی باشد را عدد رنگی دینامیکی g می نامند و آنرا با نماد ?_2 (g) نمایش می دهند. مونت گمری حدس زده است که تمام گراف های منتظم ...
15 صفحه اولKinetics and chemomechanical properties of the F1-ATPase molecular motor
F1-ATPase hydrolyzes ATP into ADP and Pi and converts chemical energy into mechanical rotation with exceptionally high efficiency. This energy-transducing molecular motor increasingly attracts interest for its unique cellular functions and promising application in nanobiotechnology. To better understand the chemomechanics of rotation and loading dynamics of F1-ATPase, we propose a computational...
متن کاملThermodynamics and kinetics of a molecular motor ensemble.
If, contrary to conventional models of muscle, it is assumed that molecular forces equilibrate among rather than within molecular motors, an equation of state and an expression for energy output can be obtained for a near-equilibrium, coworking ensemble of molecular motors. These equations predict clear, testable relationships between motor structure, motor biochemistry, and ensemble motor func...
