  • Title: Molecular motors in conservative and dissipative regimes.
    Author: Perez-Carrasco R, Sancho JM.
    Journal: Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys; 2011 Oct; 84(4 Pt 1):041915. PubMed ID: 22181183.
    Abstract:
    We present a theoretical study of a rotatory molecular motor under a conservative torque regime. We show that conservative and dissipative regimes present a different observable phenomenology. Our approach starts with a preliminary deterministic calculation of the motor cycle, which is complemented with stochastic simulations of a Langevin equation under a flashing ratchet potential. Finally, by using parameter values obtained from independent experimental information, our theoretical predictions are compared with experimental data of the F(1)-ATPase motor of the Bacillus PS3.
