Noisy kink in microtubules
arXiv:cond-mat/9606111
Abstract
We study the power spectrum of a class of noise effects generated by means of a digital-like disorder in the traveling variable of the conjectured Ginzburg-Landau-Montroll kink excitations moving along the walls of the microtubules. We have found a 1/f^α noise with α\in (1.82-2.04) on all the time scales we have considered
