论文摘要
由于与生物力学的潜在相关性,以前未解决的统计力学中的一个有趣的问题是二进制力学模型系统。蛋白质的离散化学状态通常与离散的亚稳态结构态有关,因此随着态的变化,蛋白质充当分子转换。用外力F平衡的符合符合性元件的分子开关的合奏构成了二进制机械模型系统。作为开发该模型的一系列出版物中的一个,我在这里考虑了该系统的机械性能。瞬态分析自然出现了四个过程,这些过程与在肌肉力瞬态中观察到的四个阶段一致。
With potential relevance to biomechanics, an interesting problem in statistical mechanics not previously solved is a binary mechanical model system. Discrete chemical states of proteins are often associated with discrete metastable structural states, such that with a change in state a protein acts as a molecular switch. An ensemble of molecular switches that displace compliant elements equilibrated with an external force, F, constitutes a binary mechanical model system. As one in a series of publications developing this model, here I consider the mechanical performance of this system. Four processes naturally emerge from a transient analysis which are consistent with the four phases observed in a muscle force transient.
