Highly Loaded Behavior of Kinesins Increases the Robustness of Transport Under High Resisting Loads
Fig 5
The rebinding model is schematically shown.
The pdf of the position of the cargo pdf(xc) (b) is obtained from the strain energy in the structure of the bound kinesins (a). The pdf of the position of the unbound kinesin respect to the cargo pdf(xu, k − xc) (d) is obtained from the strain energy in its structure (c). The pdf of the position of the unbound kinesin pdf(xu, k) (e) is calculated as the convolution of pdf(xc) and pdf(xu, k). (f) shows the values of kA over the position of unbound kinesin. (g) The rebinding probability on each binding site during a time step is obtained by using kA, j and pdf(xu, k).
