Renewal processes and fluctuation analysis of molecular motor stepping
Jaime E Santos1, Thomas Franosch1,2, Andrea Parmeggiani3 and Erwin Frey2
Show affiliationsWe present a systematic method of analysis of experiments performed with single motor proteins. The use of such a method should allow a more detailed description of the motor's chemical cycle through the precise fitting of the experimental data. We model the dynamics of a processive or rotary molecular motor using a renewal process, in line with the work initiated by Svoboda, Mitra and Block. We apply a functional technique to compute different types of multiple-time correlation function of the renewal process, which have applications to bead-assay experiments performed both with processive molecular motors, such as myosin V and kinesin, and rotary motors, such as F1-ATPase.
