The current and the slope of the effective potential as functions of the temperature and transition rates are calculated in the two-state model. The ratio of the slope of the effective potential to the current is also calculated. It is shown that the directed motion of motor proteins is relevant to the effective potential. The slope of the effective potential corresponds to an average force. The non-vanishing force therefore implies that detailed balance is broken in the process of transition between different states.展开更多

In DDA, the domain of interest is represented as an assemblage of discrete blocks and the joints are treated as interfaces between blocks. The governing equations of DDA are derived from Newton’s Second Law of Motion and the Principle of Minimum Potential Energy.展开更多

Double well potential for Brownian motion is always used to obtain the solutions of Fokker-P1anck equation known as the Klein-Kramers equation, which is suitable for separation and additive Hamiltonians. In essence, we could study the random motion of Brownian particles by solving Schr6dinger equation. The anaiytical results obtained from the two different methods agree with each other well The double well potentiai is affected by two parameters, which are analyzed and discussed in details with the aid of graphical illustrations. According to the final results, the shapes of the double well potential have significant influence on the probability density function.展开更多
