Diffusion and binding of finite-size particles in confined geometries
Mark L. Henle, Brian DiDonna, Christian D. Santangelo +1
Describing the diffusion of particles through crowded, confined environments with which they can interact is of considerable biological and technological interest. Under conditions…
Polymer Translocation in Crowded Environments
Ajay Gopinathan, Yong Woon Kim
We study the effect of the crowded nature of the cellular cytoplasm on the translocation of a polymer through a pore in a membrane. By systematically treating the entropic penalty…
Dynamics of membranes driven by actin polymerization
Nir Gov, Ajay Gopinathan
A motile cell, when stimulated, shows a dramatic increase in the activity of its membrane, manifested by the appearance of dynamic membrane structures such as lamellipodia, filopod…
Statistically Locked-in Transport Through Periodic Potential Landscapes
Ajay Gopinathan, David G. Grier
Classical particles driven through periodically modulated potential energy landscapes are predicted to follow a Devil's staircase hierarchy of commensurate trajectories depending o…
