Diffusion Enhancement of Brownian Motors Revealed by a Solvable Model
Ryo Kanada, Ryota Shinagawa, Kazuo Sasaki
A solvable model is proposed and analyzed to reveal the mechanism underlying the diffusion enhancement recently reported for a model of molecular motors and predicted to be observe…
Enhanced diffusion of molecular motors in the presence of adenosine triphosphate and external force
Ryota Shinagawa, Kazuo Sasaki
The diffusion of a molecular motor in the presence of a constant external force is considered on the basis of a simple theoretical model. The motor is represented by a Brownian par…
Efficiency of Energy Transduction in a Molecular Chemical Engine
Kazuo Sasaki, Ryo Kanada, Satoshi Amari
A simple model of the two-state ratchet type is proposed for molecular chemical engines that convert chemical free energy into mechanical work and vice versa. The engine works by c…
Molecular Chemical Engines: Pseudo-Static Processes and the Mechanism of Energy Transduction
Kazuo Sasaki
We propose a simple theoretical model for a molecular chemical engine that catalyzes a chemical reaction and converts the free energy released by the reaction into mechanical work.…
Diffusion Coefficient and Mobility of a Brownian Particle in a Tilted Periodic Potential
Kazuo Sasaki, Satoshi Amari
The Brownian motion of a particle in a one-dimensional periodic potential subjected to a uniform external force F is studied. Using the formula for the diffusion coefficient D obta…
