Abstract

Kinesin and microtubule have been utilized for applications, such as molecular communication. In this paper, we describe a computer simulation which reproduced movements of microtubules gliding over kinesin-coated glass surfaces under external force. The simulation qualitatively reproduced experimental results of microtubule movements under external force. This simulation would enable understanding of details of the gliding movements of microtubules under external force.

Keywords: kinesin, microtubule, gliding assay, simulation, external control
