21. It is noteworthy that when γ → ∞ the characteristic length and time scales of the reciprocating motion tend to zero, though their ratio remains finite
22. Several models consisting of two coupled particles were proposed to elucidate noise-induced transport of structured objects. See, e.g., A. Ajdari, J. Phys. I France 4, 1577 (1994);

28. The rectification mechanism based on the protein friction breaks down when the the flipping rates are comparable with the rates of binding/unbinding process

30. The rectification mechanism discussed in reference [16] and here does not involve the interaction between the motor heads and the protein filament (the motor track) which plays the key role in the protein motor operation, as shown experimentally [4]. Thus this mechanism may serve as a robotic model for molecular motors rather than for existing, known protein motors
