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…
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…
Walks of molecular motors interacting with immobilized filaments
Theo M. Nieuwenhuizen, Stefan Klumpp, Reinhard Lipowsky
Movements of molecular motors on cytoskeletal filaments are described by directed walks on a line. Detachment from this line is allowed to occur with a small probability. Motion in…
Phase transitions in systems with two species of molecular motors
Stefan Klumpp, Reinhard Lipowsky
Systems with two species of active molecular motors moving on (cytoskeletal) filaments into opposite directions are studied theoretically using driven lattice gas models. The motor…
