Diffusion of an enzyme: the role of fluctuation-induced hydrodynamic coupling

The effect of conformational fluctuations of modular macromolecules, such as enzymes, on their diffusion properties is addressed using a simple generic model of an asymmetric dumbbell made of two hydrodynamically coupled subunits. It is shown that equilibrium fluctuations can lead to an interplay be...
