Physical analysis of a processive molecular motor: the conventional kinesin
We present a model that allows for the derivation of the experimentally accesible observables: spatial steps, mean velocity, stall force, useful power, efficiency and randomness, etc. as a function of the adenosine triphosphate concentration and an external load F. The model presents a minimum of ad...

| Sumario: | We present a model that allows for the derivation of the experimentally accesible observables: spatial steps, mean velocity, stall force, useful power, efficiency and randomness, etc. as a function of the adenosine triphosphate concentration and an external load F. The model presents a minimum of adjustable parameters and the theoretical predictions compare well with the available experimental results. |
