Abstract
We study the influence of disorder in the helical actin structure on the myosin V step size, predicted from the elastic lever arm model. We show that fluctuations of +-5 degrees per actin subunit, as proposed by Egelman et al., significantly alter the distribution of step sizes and improve the agreement with experimental data.
