Dwell Time Distributions of the Molecular Motor Myosin V
The dwell times between two successive steps of the two-headed molecular motor myosin V are governed by non-exponential distributions. These distributions have been determined experimentally for various control parameters such as nucleotide concentrations and external load force. First, we use a simplified network representation to determine the dwell time distributions of myosin V, with the as...
متن کاملSecond-Chance Signal Transduction Explains Cooperative Flagellar Switching
The reversal of flagellar motion (switching) results from the interaction between a switch complex of the flagellar rotor and a torque-generating stationary unit, or stator (motor unit). To explain the steeply cooperative ligand-induced switching, present models propose allosteric interactions between subunits of the rotor, but do not address the possibility of a reaction that stimulates a bidi...
متن کاملAnalysis of kinetic intermediates in single-particle dwell-time distributions.
Many biological and chemical processes proceed through one or more intermediate steps. Statistical analysis of dwell-time distributions from single molecule trajectories enables the study of intermediate steps that are not directly observable. Here, we discuss the application of the randomness parameter and model fitting in determining the number of steps in a stochastic process. Through simula...
متن کاملDwell Time Refinement
The abstraction of a hybrid system by eliminating one or more of its continuous variables is in general too coarse. In this situation, dwell time refinement may be useful. The idea is to impose explicit constraints on the time that may resp. must be spent (or “dwelled”) between successive mode switches. We show how the required constraints can be inferred automatically (with acceptable cost). T...
متن کاملSecond - chance offers
We study the second-price offer feature of eBay auctions in which the seller has multiple units. Perhaps surprisingly, the opportunity to make second-chance offers can reduce seller profit. This happens if her marginal cost function is sufficiently steep. Hence, sellers should be wary about the possibility that buyers anticipate second-chance offers, and it may be advantageous for a seller to a...
