Modeling torque versus speed, shot noise, and rotational diffusion of the bacterial flagellar motor
Thierry Mora, Howard Yu, Ned S. Wingreen
We present a minimal physical model for the flagellar motor that enables bacteria to swim. Our model explains the experimentally measured torque-speed relationship of the proton-dr…
Maximum likelihood and the single receptor
Robert G. Endres, Ned S. Wingreen
Biological cells are able to accurately sense chemicals with receptors at their surfaces, allowing cells to move towards sources of attractant and away from sources of repellent. T…
Accuracy of direct gradient sensing by cell-surface receptors
Robert G. Endres, Ned S. Wingreen
Chemotactic cells of eukaryotic organisms are able to accurately sense shallow chemical concentration gradients using cell-surface receptors. This sensing ability is remarkable as…
Accuracy of direct gradient sensing by single cells
Robert G. Endres, Ned S. Wingreen
Many types of cells are able to accurately sense shallow gradients of chemicals across their diameters, allowing the cells to move towards or away from chemical sources. This chemo…
Information processing and signal integration in bacterial quorum sensing
Pankaj Mehta, Sidhartha Goyal, Tao Long +2
Bacteria communicate using secreted chemical signaling molecules called autoinducers in a process known as quorum sensing. The quorum-sensing network of the marine bacterium {\it V…
Steps in the bacterial flagellar motor
Thierry Mora, Howard Yu, Yoshiyuki Sowa +1
The bacterial flagellar motor is a highly efficient rotary machine used by many bacteria to propel themselves. It has recently been shown that at low speeds its rotation proceeds i…
