Microtubule dynamics depart from wormlike chain model
Katja M. Taute, Francesco Pampaloni, Erwin Frey +1
Thermal shape fluctuations of grafted microtubules were studied using high resolution particle tracking of attached fluorescent beads. First mode relaxation times were extracted fr…
Fluctuating semiflexible polymer ribbon constrained to a ring
Karen Alim, Erwin Frey
Twist stiffness and an asymmetric bending stiffness of a polymer or a polymer bundle is captured by the elastic ribbon model. We investigate the effects a ring geometry induces to…
Optimal flexibility for conformational transitions in macromolecules
Richard A. Neher, Wolfram Mobius, Erwin Frey +1
Conformational transitions in macromolecular complexes often involve the reorientation of lever-like structures. Using a simple theoretical model, we show that the rate of such tra…
A Finite Element framework for computation of protein normal modes and mechanical response
Mark Bathe
A coarse-grained computational procedure based on the Finite Element Method is proposed to calculate the normal modes and mechanical response of proteins and their supramolecular a…
Shapes of Semiflexible Polymer Rings
Karen Alim, Erwin Frey
The shape of semiflexible polymer rings is studied over their whole range of flexibility. Investigating the joint distribution of asphericity and nature of asphericity as well as t…
