Predicting Rubisco:Linker Condensation from Titration in the Dilute Phase
Alex Payne-Dwyer, Gaurav Kumar, James Barrett +6
The condensation of Rubisco holoenzymes and linker proteins into 'pyrenoids', a crucial super-charger of photosynthesis in algae, is qualitatively understood in terms of 'sticker-a…
Theoretical rheo-physics of silk: Intermolecular associations reduce the critical specific work for flow-induced crystallisation
Charley Schaefer, Tom C. B. McLeish
Silk is a semi-dilute solution of randomly coiled associating polypeptide chains that crystallise following the stretch-induced disruption, in the strong extensional flow of extrus…
Membraneless organelles formed by liquid-liquid phase separation increase bacterial fitness
Xin Jin, Ji-Eun Lee, Charley Schaefer +10
Liquid-liquid phase separation is emerging as a crucial phenomenon in several fundamental cell processes. A range of eukaryotic systems exhibit liquid condensates. However, their f…
Power-Law Stretching of Associating Polymers in Steady-State Extensional Flow
Charley Schaefer, Tom C. B. McLeish
We present a tube model for the Brownian dynamics of associating polymers in extensional flow. In linear response, the model confirms the analytical predictions for the sticky diff…
Morphology Formation in Binary Mixtures upon Gradual Destabilisation
Charley Schaefer, Stefan Paquay, Tom C. B. McLeish
Spontaneous liquid-liquid phase separation is commonly understood in terms of phenomenological mean-field theories. These theories correctly predict the structural features of the…
Structuring of fluid adlayers upon ongoing unimolecular adsorption
Charley Schaefer
Fluids with spatial density variations of single or mixed molecules play a key role in biophysics, soft matter and materials science. The fluid structures usually form via spinodal…
