Resource Letter: Bio-molecular Nano-machines: where Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Technology meet
Debashish Chowdhury
Cell is the structural and functional unit of life. This Resource Letter serves as a guide to the literature on nano-machines which drive not only intracellular movements, but also…
Intra-cellular traffic: bio-molecular motors on filamentary tracks
Debashish Chowdhury, Aakash Basu, Ashok Garai +4
Molecular motors are macromolecular complexes which use some form of input energy to perform mechanical work. The filamentary tracks, on which these motors move, are made of either…
Traffic of single-headed motor proteins KIF1A: effects of lane changing
Debashish Chowdhury, Ashok Garai, Jian-Sheng Wang
KIF1A kinesins are single-headed motor proteins which move on cylindrical nano-tubes called microtubules (MT). A normal MT consists of 13 protofilaments on which the equispaced mot…
Molecular motors: design, mechanism and control
Debashish Chowdhury
Biological functions in each animal cell depend on coordinated operations of a wide variety of molecular motors. Some of the these motors transport cargo to their respective destin…
Interacting RNA polymerase motors on DNA track: effects of traffic congestion and intrinsic noise on RNA synthesis
Tripti Tripathi, Debashish Chowdhury
RNA polymerase (RNAP) is an enzyme that synthesizes a messenger RNA (mRNA) strand which is complementary to a single-stranded DNA template. From the perspective of physicists, an R…
A two-state model for helicase translocation and unwinding of nucleic acids
Ashok Garai, Debashish Chowdhury, M. D. Betterton
Helicases are molecular motors that unwind double-stranded nucleic acids (dsNA), such as DNA and RNA). Typically a helicase translocates along one of the NA single strands while un…
