On this page you can see the animation of a model for elastically
coupled molecular motors. The full description of the model is given
in this preprint. The blue color shows the
molecular track, the red color the elastic backbone, the green color
shows attached motors and the grey color detached motors.
The parameters t_a and t_d describe the mean time a motor spends in
the attached and detached state (in seconds). If the machine
performance allows it, this should be real time. All other quantities
are given in dimensionless units. The backbone stiffness expresses the
parameter gamma.
