Spontaneous Circulation of Active Microtubules Confined by Optical Traps
Stephen E Martin, Matthew E Brunner, Joshua M Deutsch
We propose an experiment to demonstrate spontaneous ordering and symmetry breaking of kinesin-driven microtubules confined to an optical trap. Calculations involving the feasibilit…

Analysis of microtubule motion due to drag from kinesin walkers
J. M. Deutsch, M. E. Brunner, William M. Saxton
We analyze the nonlinear waves that propagate on a microtubule that is tethered at its minus end due to kinesin walking on it, as is seen during the fluid mixing caused by cytoplas…
