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…
RNA polymerase motors on DNA track: effects of traffic congestion 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…
An information-based traffic control in a public conveyance system: reduced clustering and enhanced efficiency
A. Tomoeda, K. Nishinari, D. Chowdhury +1
A new public conveyance model applicable to buses and trains is proposed in this paper by using stochastic cellular automaton. We have found the optimal density of vehicles, at whi…
