Title: | Kinklike excitations as an energy-transfer mechanism in microtubules | Authors: | Satarić M. Tuszyński J. Akula R. |
Issue Date: | 1-Jan-1993 | Journal: | Physical Review E | Abstract: | A model is presented that is intended to provide a realistic physical picture of the energy-transfer mechanism in cell microtubules. A classical 4 model in the presence of a constant electric field is used as a conceptual basis. It is demonstrated that kinklike excitations arise as a result of the guanosine 5-triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis and that an intrinsic electrical force may cause them to propagate along a microtubule. A discussion is given on the possible effects of these excitations on the dynamics of microtubules. © 1993 The American Physical Society. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/13283 | ISSN: | 1063651X | DOI: | 10.1103/PhysRevE.48.589 |
