Renewal processes and fluctuation analysis of molecular motor stepping
We model the dynamics of a processive or rotary molecular motor using a
renewal processes, in line with the work initiated by Svoboda, Mitra and Block.
We apply a functional technique to compute different types of multiple-time
correlation functions of the renewal process, which have applications to
bead-assay experiments performed both with processive molecular motors, such as
myosin V and kinesin, and rotary motors, such as F1-ATPase
