Model for processive movement of myosin V and myosin VI
Ping Xie, Shuo-Xing Dou, Peng-Ye Wang
Myosin V and myosin VI are two classes of two-headed molecular motors of the myosin superfamily that move processively along helical actin filaments in opposite directions. Here we…
Mechanism of unidirectional movement of kinesin motors
Ping Xie, Shuo-Xing Dou, Peng-Ye Wang
Kinesin motors have been studied extensively both experimentally and theoretically. However, the microscopic mechanism of the processive movement of kinesin is still an open questi…
Control of spiral waves and turbulent states in a cardiac model by travelling-wave perturbations
Peng-Ye Wang, Ping Xie, Hua-Wei Yin
We propose a travelling-wave perturbation method to control the spatiotemporal dynamics in a cardiac model. It is numerically demonstrated that the method can successfully suppress…
A model for processivity of molecular motors
Ping Xie, Shuo-Xing Dou, Peng-Ye Wang
We propose a two-dimensional model for a complete description of the dynamics of molecular motors, including both the processive movement along track filaments and the dissociation…
