3. Principles of directed motion of molecular motors and pumps Molecular motors operate in an environment where viscosity dominates Inertia, and hence where velocity if proportional to force. Analogies With electric circuits and chemical networks are much more appropriate Than models based on cars, turbines, judo throws, and the like. Directed motion and pumping arises by a cycling through parameter space The role of chemical free energy is to assure that the order of breaking and making bonds when “substrate” binds is not the microscopic reverse of the order of breaking and making bonds when product is released Strong coupling and effective motion in the face of thermal noise Is attained by reduction of dimensionality. Time scales are determined by depth of energy wells and height of Barriers. Moving between wells occurs by thermal activation over Barriers.

62. Conclusions: A very general framework for biological energy transduction takes advantage of the linearity of many processes including low Reynolds number motion. Velocities depend on time only through the parameters so the distance transported per cycle of modulation can be expressed as a loop integral. The direction of motion is controlled by the trajectory of the transitions between the “equilibrium” states, and NOT by their structure. Electrical analogies are more appropriate than automotive ones
