It is argued that the actomyosin motor can be effectively considered a common chemo-chemical enzymatic machine occurring, however, in multitude rather than a few conformational substates distinguished by the conventional kinetics. A technique was developed with the help of which relations were...

In the last decade there has been an increasing interest in generating useful work on the nano-scale to promote transport of particles. The essential theoretical formalism, rooted in non-equilibrium statistical physics, has been successfully applied to the description of physical principles...

The origin of biological motion can be traced back to the function of molecular motor proteins. Cytoplasmic dynein and kinesin transport organelles within our cells moving along a polymeric filament, the microtubule. The motion of the myosin molecules along the actin filaments is responsible for...
