Abstract

We present the exact solution of a Brownian inchworm model of a self-propelled elastic dimer which has recently been proposed, in [K. V. Kumar et al, Phys. Rev. E 77, 020102(R) (2008)], as a unifying model for the propulsion mechanisms of DNA helicase, polar rods on a vibrated surface, crawling keratocytes, and Myosin VI.
