  • Published:
Chinese Science Bulletin

Abstract

The biasing fluctuation model with a colored noise is presented to study the directional stepping motion of the molecular motor. The expression of probability current is obtained in the adiabatic approximation. The force-velocity relation and the stepping motion for motor are simulated by Monte-Carlo method.
