Coordination of Kinesin motors pulling on fluid membranes.

Intracellular transport relies on the action of motor proteins, which work collectively to either carry small vesicles or pull membranes tubes along cytoskeletal filaments. Although the individual properties of kinesin-1 motors have been extensively studied, little is known on how several motors coordinate their action and spatially organize on the microtubule when pulling on fluid membranes. H...

A molecular dynamics simulation of water transport through C and SiC nanotubes: Application for desalination

In this work the conduction of ion-water solution through two discrete bundles of armchair carbon and silicon carbide nanotubes, as useful membranes for water desalination, is studied. In order that studies on different types of nanotubes be comparable, the chiral vectors of C and Si-C nanotubes are selected as (7,7) and (5,5), respectively, so that    a similar volume of fluid is investigated ...

Collective Oscillations of Processive Molecular Motors

We present both a theoretical and an experimental study of the long time behavior of membrane nanotubes pulled from giant unilamellar vesicles by molecular motors. Experimentally, two types of behaviors are observed, either tubes stall at a finite length or they undergo periodic oscillations. Theoretically we write the equations for the tube dynamics as a two-dimensional dynamical system where ...

Tug of war in motility assay experiments.

The dynamics of two groups of molecular motors pulling in opposite directions on a rigid filament is studied theoretically. To this end we first consider the behavior of one set of motors pulling in a single direction against an external force using a new mean-field approach. Based on these results we analyze a similar setup with two sets of motors pulling in opposite directions in a tug of war...
