We theoretically study the transport properties of self-propelled particles on complex structures, such as motor proteins on filament networks. A general master equation formalism is developed to investigate the persistent motion of individual random walkers, which enables us to identify the contributions of key parameters: the motor processivity, and the anisotropy and heterogeneity of the underlying network. We prove the existence of different dynamical regimes of anomalous motion, and that…

Fluctuation effects in bidirectional cargo transport
- Physics
- 2014
A theoretical model for bidirectional cargo transport in biological cells, which is driven by teams of molecular motors and subject to thermal fluctuations, shows that the subdiffusive regime is induced by thermal fluctuations while the superdiffusive motion is generated by correlations of the motors’ activity.

A persistent random walk model is presented and numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate that the anomalous motion originates from the dynamic disorder in the structure of the magnetic lattice, induced by the slightly irregular shape of bubbles.
