Recovery of state-specific potential of molecular motor from single-molecule trajectory

arXiv:1112.0186 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/97/40004

Abstract

We have developed a novel method to evaluate the potential profile of a molecular motor at each chemical state from only the probe's trajectory and applied it to a rotary molecular motor F-ATPase. By using this method, we could also obtain the information regarding the mechanochemical coupling and energetics. We demonstrate that the position-dependent transition of the chemical states is the key feature for the highly efficient free-energy transduction by F-ATPase.
