On the surface of 128° yx-LiNbO3 substrate, two pairs of Inter-Digital Transducers (IDTs) are parallelly arranged in the propagation direction, which is a stator of surface acoustic wave (SAW) rotary motors. A plastic disk with small balls distributed around the circumference is a rotor. When a high frequency voltage is inputted to two IDTs, two Rayleigh wave beams are generated and are propagating on the substrate in opposite directions with each other. The resulting local relative motion between the particles of the stator and the balls produces two inverse frictional forces to form a moment to drive the rotor. The experimental results and theoretical analysis and calculation for two operating frequencies are accomplished and discussed.  相似文献

An analysis of the heat transfer for a boundary layer forced convective flow past a moving permeable flat surface parallel to a moving fluid is presented. Prescribed surface temperature at the boundary is considered. A thermal radiation term in the energy equation is considered. The similarity solutions for the problem are obtained and the reduced ordinary differential equations are solved numerically. To support the validity of the numerical results, a comparison is made with the available results for some particular cases of this study. Dual solutions exist when the surface and the fluid move in the opposite directions.  相似文献

Kinesin and dynein are two important classes of molecular motors which are responsible for active organelle trafficking and cell division. They can work together to carry a cargo, moving along the microtubule in a coordinated way. We use Monte Carlo method to simulate the dynamics of this coordinated movement. Based on four essential assumptions, our simulations reproduce some features of the recent in vivo experiments. The fast moving speed of the cargo is simulated and the speed distribution is presented.  相似文献

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that free diffusion of a nanoscale particle (molecule) with asymmetric structure critically depends on the orientation in a finite timescale of picoseconds to nanoseconds. In a timescale of ~100 ps, there are ~10% more possibilities for the particle moving along the initial orientation than moving opposite to the orientation; and the diffusion distances of the particle reach ~1 nm. We find that the key to this observation is the orientation-dependence of the damping force to the moving of the nanoscale particle and a finite time is required to regulate the particle orientation. This finding extends the work of Einstein to nano-world beyond random Brownian motion, thus will have a critical role in the understanding of the nanoscale world.  相似文献

Some kinds of muscles can oscillate spontaneously,which is related to the dynamic instability of the collective motors.Based on the two-state ratchet model and with consideration of the motor stiffness,the dynamics of collective myosin Ⅱmotors are studied.It is shown that when the motor stiffness is small,the velocity of the collective motors decreases monotonically with load increasing.When the motor stiffness becomes large,dynamic instability appears in the forcevelocity relationship of the collective-motor transport.For a large enough motor stiffness,the zero-velocity point lies in the unstable range of the force-velocity curve,and the motor system becomes unstable before the motion is stopped,so spontaneous oscillations can be generated if the system is elastically coupled to its environment via a spring.The oscillation frequency is related to the motor stiffness,motor binding rate,spring stiffness,and the width of the ATP excitation interval.For a medium motor stiffness,the zero-velocity point lies outside the unstable range of the force-velocity curve,and the motion will be stopped before the instability occurs.  相似文献

Muscle‘s Motion in an Overdamped Regime   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Based on the stochastic inclined rods model proposed by H.Matsuura et al., we study the motion of actin myosin system in an overdamped regime.Our model is composed of an inclined spring (rod),a myosin head and a myosin filament.The results of calculation show that the model can convert the random motion to one-directional motion,and the myosin head works as a resonator of random noise,which absorbs the energy through a stochastic resonance.The results show that the inclined rod and the intermolecular potential are very important for the system to move.  相似文献

In kinesin's mechanochemical cycle, ATP's binding to the nucleotide-free leading head is exquisitely gated so that futile hydrolysis is effectively avoided, Experiments show that, when both kinesin heads bind to a microtubule~ ATP cannot bind to kinesin's leading head when the neck linker (NL) of this head has a backward orientation. How NL's backward orientation is maintained needs understanding on a structural basis. By using steered molecular dynamics and rrmtation simulations, we investigate the backward-pointing conformation of the leading head's NL under different inter-head tensions. We find that the NL cannot keep in a strict backward orientation solely by the inter-head tension. LYS325 (amino acid sequence in 2KIN) has an assistant locking function which locks the NL and β0 to the β-domain. This locking function has an enhanced positive cooperation with the inter-head tension. When the inter-head tension is weakened, this locking function can be broken, resulting in a loose backward orientation of the NL. The difference between the strict and loose backward orientation of the NL might be a crucial factor in the gating mechanism. These results are consistent with relevant experiments and proposals.  相似文献

Membrane tubes are important functional elements for riving cells. Experiments have found that membrane tubes can be extracted from giant lipid vesicles by groups of kinesin. How these motors cooperate in extracting the membrane tube is a very important issue but still unclear so far. In this paper, we propose a cooperation mechanism called two-track-dumbbell model, in which kinesin is regarded as a dumbbell with an end (tail domain) tethered on the fluid-like membrane and the other end (head domain) stepping on the microtubule. Taking account of the elasticity of kinesin molecule and the excluded volume effect of both the head domain and the tail domain of kinesin, which are not considered in previous models, we simulate the growth process of the membrane tube pulled by kinesin motors. Our results indicate that in the case of strong or moderate exclusion of motor tails, the average number of motors pulling the tube can be as high as 9 and thus motors moving along a single microtubule protofilament can generate enough force to extract membrane tubes from vesicles. This result is different from previous studies and may be tested by future experiments.  相似文献

This paper have performed molecular static calculations with the quantum corrected Sutten Chen type many body potential to study size effects on the elastic modulus of Au nanowires with [100], [110] and [111] crystallographic directions, and to explore the preferential growth orientation of Au nanowires. The main focus of this work is the size effects on their surface characteristics. Using the common neighbour analysis, this paper deduces that surface region approximately consists of two layer atoms. Further, it extracts the elastic modulus of surface, and calculate surface energy of nanowire. The results show that for all three directions the Young's modulus of nanowire increases as the diameter increases. Similar trend has been observed for the Young's modulus of surface. However, the atomic average potential energy of nanowire shows an opposite change. Both the potential and surface energy of [110] nanowire are the lowest among all three orlentational nanowires, which helps to explain why Au nanowires possess a [110] preferred orientation during the experimental growth proceeds.  相似文献

In this paper,we study the dynamics of the synchronous totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on lattices with two consecutive junctions in a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) traffic system,which consists of m sub-chains for the input and the output,respectively.In the middle of the system,there are n (n < m) sub-chains via two consecutive junctions linking m sub-chains of input and m sub-chains of output,respectively.This configuration is a type of complex geometry that is relevant to many biological processes as well as to vehicular traffic flow.We use a mean-field approach to calculate this typical geometry and obtain the theoretical results for stationary particle currents,density profiles,and a phase diagram.With the values of m and n synchronously increasing,the vertical phase boundary moves toward the right and the horizontal phase boundary moves toward the upside in the phase diagram.The boundary conditions of the system as well as the numbers of input and output determine the no-equilibrium stationary states,stationary-states phases,and phase boundaries.We use the results to compare with computer simulations and find that they are in very good agreement with each other.  相似文献

Chara myosin is plant myosin responsible for cytoplasmic streaming and moves actin filaments at 60 µm/s, which is the fastest of all myosins examined. The neck of the myosin molecule has usually mechanical and regulatory roles. The neck of Chara myosin is supposed to bind six light chains, but, at present, we have no knowledge about them. We found Ca++-calmodulin activated Chara myosin motility and its actin-activated ATPase, and actually bound with the Chara myosin heavy chain, indicating calmodulin might be one of candidates for Chara myosin light chains. Antibody against essential light chain from Physarum myosin, and antibodies against Chara calmodulin and chicken myosin light chain from lens membranes reacted with 20 kDa and 18 kDa polypeptides of Chara myosin preparation, respectively. Correspondingly, column purified Chara myosin had light chains of 20 kDa, and 18 kDa with the molar ratio of 0.7 and 2.5 to the heavy chain, respectively.  相似文献

Nanotechnology is playing an important role in drug delivery to overcome limitations of conventional drug delivery systems in terms of solubility, in vivo stability, pharmacokinetics, and bio-distribution. The controlled transportation of drug into the cell and within the cell is a major challenge to be addressed. Cellular molecular motors have been exploited for their cargo carrying capacity for various applications including engineering and health care. Combination of nanotechnology and biomolecular motors can address some of the challenges in drug delivery. In the present study, transportation of drug nanocomposites has been demonstrated. Nanocomposites of 6-mercaptopurine and levodopa drugs (cancer and Parkinson’s disease, respectively) were prepared with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) by covalent attachment and these nanocomposites were attached to actin filaments. These nanocomposites were in-turn transported by actin filaments on myosin tracks. Characterization of drug nanocomposites formation was done by UV–Vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and confocal microscopy. GNP composites of 6-mercaptopurine and levodopa were formed by sulfide and amide bond formation, respectively. Average velocity of actin filament attached to nanocomposites was found to be 3.17 and 3.89 μm/s for levodopa and 6-mercaptopurine, respectively, as compared to actin filaments with velocity of 4.0–6.0 μm/s. Three concepts have been proposed for the study of drug transportation into the cell based on polycationic complex formation, interaction of actin with cellular myosin and Biomolecular Adaptor for Retrograde Transport (BART) technology. The aspects of this study heads toward the development of an approach to utilize molecular motors for nanoscale transportation endogenously.  相似文献

Kinesin is a processive double-headed molecular motor that moves along a microtubule by taking about 8nm steps. It generally hydrolyzes one ATP molecule for taking each forward step. The processive movement of the kinesin molecular motors is numerically simulated with a lattice model. The motors are considered as Brownian particles and the ATPase processes of both heads are taken into account. The Monte Carlo simulation results agree well with recent experimental observations, especially on the relation of velocity versus ATP and ADP concentrations.  相似文献

驱动蛋白马达在实验和理论上已被进行了广泛的研究. 然而, 其行进运动的微观机理仍未确定. 在本文中我们基于化学、力学和电学耦合提出了一个交臂模型来描述这种行进运动. 在该模型中,驱动蛋白两个头的ATP水解化学反应速率由作用在其颈上的力(包括内部弹性力和外部负荷)来调控. 在低外部负荷情况下, 驱动蛋白的后头的ATP水解化学反应速率远大于前头的速率, 因而两个头在ATP水解化学反应和力学周期循环中是协调的且马达以每步消耗一个ATP的方式的行走. 在大的前向负荷情况下, 两个头的ATP水解化学反应速率变得可比拟, 因而两个头在ATP水解化学反应和力学周期循环中不再很好地协调. 该模型与驱动蛋白的结构研究结果以及ATP水解化学反应路径一致. 利用此模型所估算的驱动力(约5.8 pN)与实验结果(5~7.5 pN)一致. 所估算的每步中的运动时间(约10)也与实验测量值(0~50)符合. 解释了已观察到的每步(8nm)分为两个半步的现象. 所得到的运动速度-负荷曲线与已有的实验结果一致.  相似文献

Forces in the actin cytoskeleton are generated by small groups of nonprocessive myosin II motors for which stochastic effects are highly relevant. Using a cross-bridge model with the assumptions of fast power-stroke kinetics and equal load sharing between equivalent states, we derive a one-step master equation for the activity of a finite-sized ensemble of mechanically coupled myosin II motors. For constant external load, this approach yields analytical results for duty ratio and force-velocity relation as a function of ensemble size. We find that stochastic effects cannot be neglected for ensemble sizes below 15. The one-step master equation can be used also for efficient computer simulations with linear elastic external load and reveals the sequence of buildup of force and ensemble rupture that is characteristic for reconstituted actomyosin contractility.  相似文献

We present a model which couples the membrane with the protrusive forces of actin polymerization and contractile forces of molecular motors, such as myosin. The actin polymerization at the membrane is activated by freely diffusing membrane proteins that have a spontaneous curvature. Molecular motors are recruited to the polymerizing actin filaments, from a constant reservoir, and produce a contractile force. All the forces and variables are treated in the linear limit. Our results show that for convex membrane proteins the myosin activity gives rise to robust transverse membrane waves, similar to those observed on different cells.  相似文献

The mechanical processes generated by the molecular motors, myosin and actin, were measured using single molecule imaging, manipulation, and nanometry techniques. It was shown that the mechanical events of myosin are not tightly coupled with the ATP hydrolysis reaction and that myosin molecules move stochastically. These results indicate that the movement of myosin is driven by thermal motion rather than structural changes occurring in the myosin molecules. Thermal Brownian motion must be biased using the energy released from the hydrolysis of ATP. Thus, the molecular motors can harness thermal energy to perform mechanical work efficiently.

The spontaneous oscillatory contraction(SPOC) of myofibrils is the essential property inherent to the contractile system of muscle. Muscle contraction results from cyclic interactions between actin filament and myosin II which is a dimeric motor protein with two heads. Taking the two heads of myosin II as an indivisible element and considering the effects of cooperative behavior between the two heads on rate constants in the mechanochemical cycle, the present work proposes the tenstate mechanochemical cycle model for myosin II dimer. The simulations of this model show that the proportion of myosin II in different states periodically changes with time, which results in the sustained oscillations of contractive tension, and serves as the primary factor for SPOC. The good fit of this model to experimental results suggests that the cooperative interaction between the two heads of myosin II dimer may be one of the underlying mechanisms for muscle contraction.  相似文献

On the basis of the transport features and experimental phenomena observed in studies of molecular motors, we propose a double-temperature ratchet model of coupled motors to reveal the dynamical mechanism of cooperative transport of motors with two heads, where the interactions and asynchrony between two motor heads are taken into account. We investigate the collective unidirectional transport of coupled system and find that the direction of motion can be reversed under certain conditions. Reverse motion can be achieved by modulating the coupling strength, coupling free length, and asymmetric coefficient of the periodic potential, which is understood in terms of the effective potential theory. The dependence of the directed current on various parameters is studied systematically. Directed transport of coupled Brownian motors can be manipulated and optimized by adjusting the pulsation period or the phase shift of the pulsation temperature.  相似文献
