MEDYAN.Link2MonSiteMotorCatch

Union{}

The catch-bond nature of myosin unbinding with multiple heads. Adopted from the results of Erdmann et al. 2013. The parallel cluster model.

As the force increases, the motor unbinding rate decreases to a minimum of k0/10

link_2mon_sitecount returns the unbinding rate in units of 1/s It returns k0 if the link2mon hasn’t been minimized yet. It assumes link2monstate.chemstate.numHeads exists for the link2mon.

  • f0::Float64: single head characteristic unbinding force, units of pN/head
  • onRate::Float64: single head binding rate, units of 1/s
  • offRate::Float64: single head unbinding rate, units of 1/s
  • β::Float64: slope of head binding, units of (head)/(pN/head)
