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…

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…
