Modeling the mechano-chemistry of the ϕ29 DNA translocation motor
R. Perez-Carrasco, A. Fiasconaro, F. Falo +1
We present a study of the DNA translocation of the bacteriophage ϕ29 packaging molecular motor. From the experimental available information we present a model system based in an st…
Self-sustained spatiotemporal oscillations induced by membrane-bulk coupling
A. Gomez-Marin, J. Garcia-Ojalvo, J. M. Sancho
We propose a novel mechanism leading to spatiotemporal oscillations in extended systems that does not rely on local bulk instabilities. Instead, oscillations arise from the interac…
Tight coupling in thermal Brownian motors
A. Gomez-Marin, J. M. Sancho
We study analytically a thermal Brownian motor model and calculate exactly the Onsager coefficients. We show how the reciprocity relation holds and that the determinant of the Onsa…
Ratchet, pawl and spring Brownian motor
A. Gomez-Marin, J. M. Sancho
We present a model for a thermal Brownian motor based on Feynman's famous ratchet and pawl device. Its main feature is that the ratchet and the pawl are in different thermal baths…
Symmetric Brownian motor
A. Gomez-Marin, J. M. Sancho
In this paper we present a model of a symmetric Brownian motor (SBM) which changes the sign of its velocity when the temperature gradient is inverted. The velocity, external work a…
