Adhesion of membranes via actively switched receptors
Bartosz Rozycki, Reinhard Lipowsky, Thomas R. Weikl
We consider a theoretical model for membranes with adhesive receptors, or stickers, that are actively switched between two conformational states. In their 'on'-state, the stickers…
Point force manipulation and activated dynamics of polymers adsorbed on structured substrates
P. Kraikivski, R. Lipowsky, J. Kierfeld
We study the activated motion of adsorbed polymers which are driven over a structured substrate by a localized point force.Our theory applies to experiments with single polymers us…
Traffic of Molecular Motors
Stefan Klumpp, Melanie J. I. Müller, Reinhard Lipowsky
Molecular motors perform active movements along cytoskeletal filaments and drive the traffic of organelles and other cargo particles in cells. In contrast to the macroscopic traffi…
Cooperative Cargo Transport by Several Molecular Motors
Stefan Klumpp, Reinhard Lipowsky
The transport of cargo particles which are pulled by several molecular motors in a cooperative manner is studied theoretically. The transport properties depend primarily on the max…
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…
