An exact approach for studying cargo transport by an ensemble of molecular motors

Background: Intracellular transport is crucial for many cellular processes where a large fraction of the cargo is transferred by motor-proteins over a network of microtubules. Malfunctions in the transport mechanism underlie a number of medical maladies.Existing methods for studying how motor-prote...
