Abstract:
In this paper, based on the structure of the ATPase and the master equation, we put forward a stochastic hopping model which describes the rotary four-state motor's dynamics action. Finally, we obtained the relationship of the angle velocity omega, diffusion coefficient and the ATP's concentration, and got a result which accords with the rotary motor's biological mechanism.

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...
Actin Polymerization
The nucleation phase involves forming a stable nucleus consisting of three actin monomers to form a new actin filament. Actin-binding proteins such as formins and Arp2/3 complex help filament growth post-nucleation. The Formins form straight actin...
