Stochastic dynamics and Angular velocity of a molecular motor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of the Langevin equation in analyzing the stochastic dynamics and angular velocity of a molecular motor. The initial challenge faced by the participant was the lack of information regarding the drag coefficient, which hindered their progress. However, the participant ultimately resolved their issue independently, indicating that alternative approaches may exist to circumvent the need for specific parameters. This highlights the importance of flexibility in problem-solving within the context of molecular dynamics.

I do not know how I can proceed from this point. I'm stuck since I have no information on the drag coefficient. Maybe my approach is wrong, and there may be another approach that let's me avoid this problem. Please help me, I will really appreciate your help !
