Estimation of anisotropic bending rigidities and spontaneous curvatures of crescent curvature-inducing proteins from tethered-vesicle experimental data
Hiroshi Noguchi, Nikhil Walani, Marino Arroyo
The Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) superfamily proteins have a crescent binding domain and bend biomembranes along the domain axis. However, their anisotropic bending rigidities and spo…
Peeling dynamics of fluid membranes bridged by molecular bonds: moving or breaking
Dimitri Kaurin, Pradeep K. Bal, Marino Arroyo
Biological adhesion is a critical mechanical function of complex organisms operating at multiple scales. At the cellular scale, cell-cell adhesion is remarkably tunable to enable b…
A theory for the flow of chemically-responsive polymer solutions: equilibrium and shear-induced phase separation
Marco De Corato, Marino Arroyo
Chemically-responsive polymers are macromolecules that respond to local variations of the chemical composition of the solution by changing their conformation, with notable examples…
Binding of anisotropic curvature-inducing proteins onto membrane tubes
Hiroshi Noguchi, Caterina Tozzi, Marino Arroyo
Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs superfamily proteins and other curvature-inducing proteins have anisotropic shapes and anisotropically bend biomembrane. Here, we report how the anisotropic pro…
A theory of ordering of elongated and curved proteins on membranes driven by density and curvature
Caterina Tozzi, Nikhil Walani, Anabel-Lise Le Roux +2
Cell membranes interact with a myriad of curvature-active proteins that control membrane morphology and are responsible for mechanosensation and mechanotransduction. Some of these…
Spontaneous polarization and locomotion of an active particle with surface-mobile enzymes
Marco De Corato, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Loai K. E. A. Abdelmohsen +2
We examine a mechanism of locomotion of active particles whose surface is uniformly coated with mobile enzymes. The enzymes catalyze a reaction that drives phoretic flows but their…
