Abstract: We propose a model for motor proteins based on a hierarchical Hamiltonian that we have previously introduced to describe protein folding. The proposed motor model has a power stroke of high efficiency and an overall dynamics that is consistent with a linear load-velocity response. The model suggests a connection between folding and function of allosteric proteins.
