Two-channel totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes (2004, background): “For example, motor proteins kinesins can move along the parallel protofilaments of microtubules, and there are no restrictions for them to jump between these protofilaments [17].”
Stochastic theory of nonequilibrium steady states and its applications. Part I (2012, background): “In addition to muscle contraction, there are other biophysical motivation to study such a phenomenon [200]: Many active processes in biological systems are carried out by enzymes, often ATPases, which can move, linearly or circularly, biased toward one direction by converting the chemical energy fro”

Physics of adherent cells (2013, methodology): “However, one important aspect regarding actin networks and bundles in cells is the fact that these networks are under tension due to the contractile activity of myosin motors (Howard, 2001).”
