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…
Free-Energy Landscape of Kinesin by a Realistic Lattice Model
Hiroo Kenzaki, Macoto Kikuchi
Structural fluctuations in the thermal equilibrium of the kinesin motor domain are studied using a lattice protein model with Go interactions. By means of the multi-self-overlap en…
Multi-Spin Coding of the Monte Carlo Simulation of the Three-State Random Potts Model and the Block-Spin Transformation
Macoto Kikuchi, Yutaka Okabe
The multi-spin coding of the Monte Carlo simulation of the three-state Potts model on the simple cubic lattice is presented. The ferromagnetic (F) model, the antiferromagnetic (AF)…
Statistical Dependence and Related Topics
Macoto Kikuchi, Nobuyasu Ito, Yutaka Okabe
On the basis of the dynamical interpretation of Monte Carlo simulations, we discuss the relation of the equilibrium relaxation time, the susceptibility and the statistical error. W…
