Molecular origin of the weak susceptibility of kinesin velocity to loads and its relation to the collective behavior of kinesins.
Motor proteins are active enzymatic molecules that support important cellular processes by transforming chemical energy into mechanical work. Although the structures and chemomechanical cycles of motor proteins have been extensively investigated, the sensitivity of a motor's velocity in response to a force is not well-understood. For kinesin, velocity is weakly influenced by a small to midrange...
متن کاملHighly Loaded Behavior of Kinesins Increases the Robustness of Transport Under High Resisting Loads
Kinesins are nano-sized biological motors which walk by repeating a mechanochemical cycle. A single kinesin molecule is able to transport its cargo about 1 μm in the absence of external loads. However, kinesins perform much longer range transport in cells by working collectively. This long range of transport by a team of kinesins is surprising because the motion of the cargo in cells can be hin...
متن کاملThe effects of viscoelastic fluid on kinesin transport.
Kinesins are molecular motors which transport various cargoes in the cytoplasm of cells and are involved in cell division. Previous models for kinesins have only targeted their in vitro motion. Thus, their applicability is limited to kinesin moving in a fluid with low viscosity. However, highly viscoelastic fluids have considerable effects on the movement of kinesin. For example, the high visco...
متن کاملAnalysis of Cooperative Behavior in Multiple Kinesins Motor Protein Transport by Varying Structural and Chemical Properties.
Intracellular transport is a fundamental biological process during which cellular materials are driven by enzymatic molecules called motor proteins. Recent optical trapping experiments and theoretical analysis have uncovered many features of cargo transport by multiple kinesin motor protein molecules under applied loads. These studies suggest that kinesins cooperate negatively under typical tra...
متن کاملA comment on the origin of Corona virus
The new coronavirus origin is one of the important controversial subjects in the study of this virus. There are many contradictions about the epidemiological data and bat origin of the virus. In this regard heterodox view by cosmic biology concepts, exceptionally bright fireball event a few months before the outbreak in China, and extraordinary weak solar cycle with many sunspot free days could...
