The study provides a simplified statistical approach using Fokker-Planck equations to model the rotation speed of the F0F1 ATPase molecular motor.
A physical description of the F 0 F 1 adenosine triphosphatase as a rotating motor is proposed. The catalytic center and the ion-conducting membrane are considered within the classical Boyer model for the rotor and the catalytic parts of the motor, thereby allowing application of a simple three-pole model, which decreases the number of parameters significantly. The stochastic character of the processes occurring in motors is described by the Fokker-Planck equations. Various dependences of the rotation speed on the degree of excitation, localization of excitations, and the amplitude of the potential are reported.

Loginov et al. (2006) studied Molecular motor adenosine triphosphatase. Three-pole model was evaluated. A simple three-pole model using Fokker-Planck equations successfully described the F0F1 adenosine triphosphatase as a rotating motor, decreasing the number of parameters significantly.
