    Biophys J. 1993 Jul;65(1):316-24.

    Cellular motions and thermal fluctuations: the Brownian ratchet.

    Peskin CS, Odell GM, Oster GF.

    Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York, New York 10012.

    We present here a model for how chemical reactions generate protrusive forces by rectifying Brownian motion. This sort of energy transduction drives a number of intracellular processes, including filopodial protrusion, propulsion of the bacterium Listeria, and protein translocation.
