Multi-component molecular machines are ubiquitous in biology. We review recent progress
on describing their thermodynamic properties using autonomous bipartite Markovian …

Molecular motors work collectively to transport cargo within cells, with anywhere from one to
several hundred motors towing a single cargo. For a broad class of collective-transport …

Motor-driven intracellular transport of organelles, vesicles, and other molecular cargo is a
highly collective process. An individual cargo is often pulled by a team of transport motors …

We consider the dynamics of a bio-filament under the collective drive of motor proteins. They
are attached irreversibly to a substrate and undergo stochastic attachment–detachment with …

Intracellular transport is performed often by multiple motor proteins bound to the same cargo.
Here, we study theoretically collective transport of the cargo by two kinesin motors. We …

When transporting cellular cargoes along the cytoskeletal filament track, motor proteins
produce additional frictional drag. This" protein friction" determines the mean speed of a …

Many intracellular transports are performed by multiple molecular motors in a cooperative
manner. Here, we use stochastic simulations to study the cooperative transport by multiple …

In this study, we investigate the cooperative transport behaviors of coupled motor–cargoes
system, in which multiple passive cargoes stochastically interact with one active Brownian …
