Hierarchical model of the actomyosin molecular motor based on ultrametric diffusion with drift
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the approach to investigation of molecular machines using systems of integro– differential ultrametric (p-adic) reaction–diffusion equations with drift. This approach combines the features of continuous and discrete dynamic models. We apply this model to investigation of actomyosin molecular motor. The introduced system of equations is solved analytically using p-adic wavelet theory. We find explicit stationary solutions and behavior in the relaxation regime.

Preprint: a Drift-diffusion Model for Molecular Motor Transport in Anisotropic Filament Bundles
In this study we consider the density of motor proteins in filament bundles with polarity graded in space. We start with a microscopic model that includes information on motor binding site positions along specific filaments and on their polarities. We assume that filament length is small compared to the characteristic length scale of the bundle polarity pattern. This leads to a separation of sc...

متن کاملBrownian molecular motors driven by rotation-translation coupling.
We investigated three models of Brownian motors which convert rotational diffusion into directed translational motion by switching on and off a potential. In the first model a spatially asymmetric potential generates directed translational motion by rectifying rotational diffusion. It behaves much like a conventional flashing ratchet. The second model utilizes both rotational diffusion and drif...
متن کامل, interbasin kinetics and ultrametric diffusion
We discuss the interbasin kinetics approximation for random walk on a complex landscape. We show that for a generic landscape the corresponding model of interbasin kinetics is equivalent to an ultrametric diffusion, generated by an ultrametric pseudodifferential operator on the ultrametric space related to the tree of basins. The simplest example of ultrametric diffusion of this kind is describ...
متن کاملHDDM: Hierarchical Bayesian estimation of the Drift-Diffusion Model in Python
The diffusion model is a commonly used tool to infer latent psychological processes underlying decision-making, and to link them to neural mechanisms based on response times. Although efficient open source software has been made available to quantitatively fit the model to data, current estimation methods require an abundance of response time measurements to recover meaningful parameters, and o...
