"Burnt-bridge" mechanism of molecular motor motion.

چکیده
Motivated by a biased diffusion of molecular motors with the bias dependent on the state of the substrate, we investigate a random walk on a one-dimensional lattice that contains weak links (called "bridges") which are affected by the walker. Namely, a bridge is destroyed with probability when p the walker crosses it; the walker is not allowed to cross it again and this leads to a directed motion. The velocity of the walker is determined analytically for equidistant bridges. The special case of p = 1 is more tractable--both the velocity and the diffusion constant are calculated for uncorrelated locations of bridges, including periodic and random distributions.

متن کاملMolecular motors interacting with their own tracks.
Dynamics of molecular motors that move along linear lattices and interact with them via reversible destruction of specific lattice bonds is investigated theoretically by analyzing exactly solvable discrete-state "burnt-bridge" models. Molecular motors are viewed as diffusing particles that can asymmetrically break or rebuild periodically distributed weak links when passing over them. Our explic...
متن کاملTransport of molecular motor dimers in burnt-bridge models
The dynamics of molecular motor dimers, consisting of rigidly bound particles that move along two parallel lattices and interact with underlying molecular tracks, is investigated theoretically by analyzing discretestate stochastic continuous-time burnt-bridge models. In these models the motion of molecular motors is viewed as a random walk along the lattices with periodically distributed weak l...

Abstract. Dynamic properties of molecular motors that fuel their motion by actively interacting with underlying molecular tracks are studied theoretically via discretestate stochastic “burnt-bridge” models. The transport of the particles is viewed as an effective diffusion along one-dimensional lattices with periodically distributed weak links. When an unbiased random walker passes the weak lin...
متن کاملDynamics of molecular motors in reversible burnt-bridge models
Dynamic properties of molecular motors whose motion is powered by interactions with specific lattice bonds are studied theoretically with the help of discrete-state stochastic “burnt-bridge” models. Molecular motors are depicted as random walkers that can destroy or rebuild periodically distributed weak connections (“bridges”) when crossing them, with probabilities p1 and p2 correspondingly.
