Monte Carlo modeling of single-molecule cytoplasmic dynein.
Molecular motors are responsible for active transport and organization in the cell, underlying an enormous number of crucial biological processes. Dynein is more complicated in its structure and function than other motors. Recent experiments have found that, unlike other motors, dynein can take different size steps along microtubules depending on load and ATP concentration. We use Monte Carlo s...
متن کاملSingle-molecule imaging of cytoplasmic dynein in vivo.
While early fluorescence microscopy experiments employing fluorescent probes afforded snapshots of the cell, the power of live-cell microscopy is required to understand complex dynamics in biological processes. The first successful cloning of green fluorescent protein in the 1990s paved the way for development of approaches that we now utilize for visualization in a living cell. In this chapter...
متن کاملMonte carlo simulation of a single-molecule detection experiment.
The physical and instrumental processes that occur in experiments for the detection of individual fluorescent molecules in solution are described, with emphasis on their incorporation into a quantitative Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation is applied to the conditions of a past experiment [Appl. Opt. 34, 3208 (1995)], which utilizes a sheath flow system for high detection efficiency, and it ...
متن کاملEfficient Monte Carlo Device Modeling
A single-particle approach to full-band Monte Carlo device simulation is presented which allows an efficient computation of drain, substrate and gate currents in deep submicron MOSFETs. In this approach, phase-space elements are visited according to the distribution of real electrons. This scheme is well adapted to a test-function evaluation of the drain current, which emphasizes regions with l...
متن کاملCytoplasmic dynein.
The organization and function of eukaryotic cells rely on the action of many different molecular motor proteins. Cytoplasmic dynein drives the movement of a wide range of cargoes towards the minus ends of microtubules, and these events are needed, not just at the single-cell level, but are vital for correct development. In the present paper, I review recent progress on understanding dynein's me...
