Crowding and pausing strongly affect dynamics of kinesin-1 motors along microtubules
Matthias Rank, Erwin Frey
Molecular motors of the kinesin-1 family move in a directed and processive fashion along microtubules (MTs). It is generally accepted that steric hindrance of motors leads to crowd…

Limited Resources Induce Bistability in Microtubule Length Regulation
Matthias Rank, Aniruddha Mitra, Louis Reese +2
The availability of protein is an important factor for the determination of the size of the mitotic spindle. Involved in spindle-size regulation is kinesin-8, a molecular motor and…

Cooperative effects enhance the transport properties of molecular spider teams
Matthias Rank, Louis Reese, Erwin Frey
Molecular spiders are synthetic molecular motors based on DNA nanotechnology. While natural molecular motors have evolved towards very high efficiency, it remains a major challenge…
