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…

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…

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…

Engineering Nanoscale Biological Molecular Motors

Chapin Korosec, Nancy R. Forde

Understanding the operation of biological molecular motors, nanoscale machines that transduce electrochemical energy into mechanical work, is enhanced by bottom-up strategies to sy…
