What is Motion of Molecular Motor Ratcheted by Internal Fluctuations and Protein Friction about?
We investigate theoretically a novel mechanism of transducing chemical energy into a directed force. A hypothetical motor protein is considered such that conformational changes induced by nucleotide binding and/or hydrolysis lead to asymmetric internal velocity fluctuations. We demonstrate that these fluctuations result in unidirectional motion if rectified by protein friction. The motor protein force-velocity relationship and other characteristics are computed based on analogy with known molecular motors. @ 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
