Abstract
We present a model that allows for the derivation of the experimentally accesible observables: spatial steps,
mean velocity, stall force, useful power, efficiency and randomness, etc. as a function of the adenosine
triphosphate concentration and an external load F. The model presents a minimum of adjustable parameters
and the theoretical predictions compare well with the available experimental results.
