1 Biophysik der Moleküle!!"#$%&'()*+,-$./0()'$12$34!4! Molecular Motors:! - linear motors" 6. Dec. 2010!

2 Muscle Motors and Cargo Transporting Motors! There are striking structural similarities but functional differences! Thin Filament! Myosin II! Thick Filament! " Muscle is an organized# structure with many motors! " Can move at high speeds! V=25.000nm/sec! " Cargo transport requires# only one or a few motors! " Moves at lower speeds! V=10nm/sec!

3 A: Linear motors:universelle machinery of locomotion

4 actin filaments! myosin filaments! relaxed! contracted!

5 Muscle Myosin! Taken from Liang et al., JCB 99! N t e r m A!T!P! C t e r m A!T!P! residue #" length (nm)"

6 B: Intracellular Traffic over Long Distances! Axon! 10 µm! See Joe Howard et al. MPI Dresden " Manfred Schliwa et al. LMU!

7 Expolaration of intracellular space by superposition of random walk. Cells test possible use of internalize objects moving them around cytoplasmic spase

8 At what Length Scale is Motility Faster than Diffusion?! Time to swim the body lenth:! s = d/v! Time to diffuse the body lenth:! D = d 2 /D! Einstein: D = k B T/6"#d!! D /! s = (6"#/k B T)vd 2! ecoli" d#10µm" v#100µm/s!! D /! s # 1! Myosin" d#10nm" v#10µm/s!! D /! s << 1! Diffusion " range!

9 Brownian Motion vs. Bacterial Motility!

10 Life at Low Reynolds Numbers:! Swimming in molasses, walking in a hurricane " Dean Astumian! Reynolds number:" R =! d v $% e.g. bacterium! #! #! 10-6 m * 10-5 m/s * 10 3 kg/m 3! 10-3 kg/ms! Thermal noise power:" k P th #! B T! thermal relaxation time! 4*10-21 J! #! s! # 10-8 W! R = 10-5! => No turbulences!" Compare to power of motors:! P mech # W!! See Astumian & Hänggi, Physics Today Nov. 2002, 33-39!

11 Problem! Molecular motors like myosin II work at low Reynolds number,! (i.e. friction forces dominate over inertia forces)! Thermal energy is large compared to the energy of the driving force.! How can a molecular motor work with precision?! 5&()6+(7'$8&9&'*$7')$0':;),$<=$>?@$A=0'&(=*:*$ ATP + H 2 O & ADP + P i 'G= 20kT ATP hydrolysis delivers about 6 * J! A typical motor uses ATP molecule per second.! Typical motor power of order to W" thermal energy : 1kT ~ 4 * J.! typical relaxation time in water ~ s.! i.e. thermal power is of order ~ 10-8 W." its like walking in a hurricane."
