Strength and stability of active ligand-receptor bonds: a microtubule attached to a wall by molecular motor tethers
Dipanwita Ghanti, Raymond W. Friddle, Debashish Chowdhury
We develop a stochastic kinetic model of a pre-formed attachment of a mictrotuble (MT) with a cell cortex, in which the MT is tethered to the cell by a group of active motor protei…

Collective cargo hauling by a bundle of parallel microtubules: bi-directional motion caused by load-dependent polymerization and depolymerization
Dipanwita Ghanti, Debashish Chowdhury
A microtubule (MT) is a hollow tube of approximately 25 nm diameter. The two ends of the tube are dissimilar and are designated as `plus' and `minus' ends. Motivated by the collect…
