The Lawnmower: an autonomous, protein-based artificial molecular motor
Chapin S. Korosec, Ivan Unksov, Pradheebha Surendiran +6
Inspired by biology, great progress has been made in creating artificial molecular motors. However, the dream of harnessing proteins - the building blocks selected by Nature - to d…
Multivalent Diffusive Transport
Antonia Kowalewski, Nancy R. Forde, Chapin S. Korosec
We present here a model for multivalent diffusive transport whereby a central point-like hub is coupled to multiple feet, which bind to complementary sites on a two-dimensional lan…
Optical tweezers approaches for probing multiscale protein mechanics and assembly
Kathrin Lehmann, Marjan Shayegan, Gerhard A. Blab +1
Multi-step assembly of individual protein building blocks is key to the formation of essential higher-order structures inside and outside of cells. Optical tweezers is a technique…
Apparent superballistic dynamics in one-dimensional random walks with biased detachment
Chapin S. Korosec, David A. Sivak, Nancy R. Forde
The mean-squared displacement (MSD) is an averaged quantity widely used to assess anomalous diffusion. In many cases, such as molecular motors with finite processivity, dynamics of…
Mechanics and Structural Stability of the Collagen Triple Helix
Michael W. H. Kirkness, Kathrin Lehmann, Nancy R. Forde
The primary building block of the body is collagen, which is found in the extracellular matrix and in many stress-bearing tissues such as tendon and cartilage. It provides elastici…
Dimensionality-dependent crossover in motility of polyvalent burnt-bridges ratchets
Chapin S. Korosec, Martin J. Zuckermann, Nancy R. Forde
The burnt-bridges ratchet (BBR) mechanism is a model for biased molecular motion whereby the construct destroys track binding sites as it progresses, and therefore acts as a diffus…
