Rethinking How Molecules Move in Complex Cellular Environments
New research shows that molecules moving inside crowded cells do not necessarily diffuse faster when the cellular environment fluctuates. Dmitrii Makarov and Peter Sollich found that even when molecular “traps” in a rough energy landscape rapidly change, the overall diffusion rate can remain the same as if the landscape were frozen, due to reciprocal interactions between the particle and its environment governed by detailed balance. Their findings suggest that classic diffusion models remain valid but may underestimate how rough cellular environments truly are.
