What is The coordination of protein motors and the kinetic behavior of microtubule — A computational study about?
Utilizing the mechanical energy converted from chemical energy through hydrolysis of ATP, motor proteins drive cytoskeleton filaments to move in various biological systems. Recent technological advance has shown the potential of the motor proteins for powering future nano-bio-mechanical systems. In order to effectively use motor proteins as a biological motor, the interaction between the protein motors and bio-filaments needs to be well clarified, since such interaction is largely influenced by many factors, such as the coordination among the motors, their dynamic behavior, physical properties of microtubules, and the viscosity of solution involved, etc. In this study, a two-dimensional model was proposed to simulate the motion of a microtubule driven by protein motors based on a dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method with attempt to correlate the microtubule's kinetic behavior to the coordination among protein motors.
