Nonlinearity of Mechanochemical Motions in Motor Proteins
Yuichi Togashi, Toshio Yanagida, Alexander S. Mikhailov
The assumption of linear response of protein molecules to thermal noise or structural perturbations, such as ligand binding or detachment, is broadly used in the studies of protein…
Functional Analysis of Spontaneous Cell Movement under Different Physiological Conditions
Hiroaki Takagi, Masayuki J. Sato, Toshio Yanagida +1
Cells can show not only spontaneous movement but also tactic responses to environmental signals. Since the former can be regarded as the basis to realize the latter, playing essent…
Fluctuation analysis of mechanochemical coupling depending on the type of bio-molecular motor
Masatoshi Nishikawa, Hiroaki Takagi, Atsuko H. Iwane +1
Mechanochemical coupling was studied for two different types of myosin motors in cells: myosin V, which carries cargo over long distances by as a single molecule; and myosin II, wh…
