Effects of the chemomechanical stepping cycle on the traffic of molecular motors
Stefan Klumpp, Yan Chai, Reinhard Lipowsky
We discuss effects of the stepping kinetics of molecular motors on their traffic behavior on crowded filaments using a simple two-state chemomechanical cycle. While the general tra…
Traffic by small teams of molecular motors
Melanie J. I. Müller, Janina Beeg, Rumiana Dimova +2
Molecular motors transport various cargos along cytoskeletal filaments, analogous to trucks on roads. In contrast to vehicles, however, molecular motors do not work alone but in sm…
Active diffusion of motor particles
Stefan Klumpp, Reinhard Lipowsky
The movement of motor particles consisting of one or several molecular motors bound to a cargo particle is studied theoretically. The particles move on patterns of immobilized fila…
Molecular motor traffic in a half-open tube
Melanie J. I. Muller, Stefan Klumpp, Reinhard Lipowsky
The traffic of molecular motors which interact through mutual exclusion is studied theoretically for half-open tube-like compartments. These half-open tubes mimic the shapes of axo…
Movements of molecular motors: Ratchets, random walks and traffic phenomena
Stefan Klumpp, Theo M. Nieuwenhuizen, Reinhard Lipowsky
Processive molecular motors which drive the traffic of organelles in cells move in a directed way along cytoskeletal filaments. On large time scales, they perform motor walks, i.e.…
Asymmetric simple exclusion processes with diffusive bottlenecks
Stefan Klumpp, Reinhard Lipowsky
One-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion processes (ASEPs) which are coupled to external reservoirs via diffusive transport are studied. These ASEPs consist of active compartmen…
