Structural Fluctuations of Microtubule Binding Site of KIF1A in Different Nucleotide States
Ryo Kanada, Fumiko Takagi, Macoto Kikuchi
How molecular motors like Kinesin regulates the affinity to the rail protein in the process of ATP hydrolysis remains to be uncovered. To understand the regulation mechanism, we in…
Structural Change of Myosin Motor Domain and Nucleotide Dissociation
Fumiko Takagi, Macoto Kikuchi
We investigated the structural relaxation of myosin motor domain from the pre-power stroke state to the near-rigor state using molecular dynamics simulation of a coarse-grained pro…
Irreversibility resulting from contact with a heat bath caused by the finiteness of the system
K. Sato, K. Sekimoto, T. Hondou +1
When a small dynamical system that is initially in contact with a heat bath is detached from this heat bath and then caused to undergo a quasi-static adiabatic processes, the stati…
Thermal Noise Can Facilitate Energy Conversion by Ratchet System?
Fumiko Takagi, Tsuyoshi Hondou
Molecular motors in biological systems are expected to use ambient fluctuation. In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 80}, 5251 (1998)], it was showed that the following questi…
Energetics of Forced Thermal Ratchet
Hideki Kamegawa, Tsuyoshi Hondou, Fumiko Takagi
Molecular motors are known to have the high efficiency of energy transformation in the presence of thermal fluctuation. Motivated by the surprising fact, recent studies of thermal…
