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…
Barrier crossing of semiflexible polymers
P. Kraikivski, R. Lipowsky, J. Kierfeld
We consider the motion of semiflexible polymers in double-well potentials. We calculate shape, energy, and effective diffusion constant of kink excitations, and in particular their…
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.…
