Interaction of molecular motors can enhance their efficiency
arXiv:1009.0459 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/84/50009
Abstract
Particles moving in oscillating potential with broken mirror symmetry are considered. We calculate their energetic efficiency, when acting as molecular motors carrying a load against external force. It is shown that interaction between particles enhances the efficiency in wide range of parameters. Possible consequences for artificial molecular motors are discussed.
