Competing addition processes give distinct growth regimes in the assembly of 1D filaments
Sk Ashif Akram, Tyler Brown, Stephen Whitelam +3
We present a model to describe the concentration-dependent growth of protein filaments. Our model contains two states, a low entropy/high affinity ordered state and a high entropy/…

Membrane budding driven by intra-cellular ESCRT-III filaments
Sk Ashif Akram, Gaurav Kumar, Anirban Sain
Exocytosis is a common transport mechanism via which cells transport out non-essential macro-molecules (cargo) into the extra cellular space. ESCRT-III proteins are known to help i…

Chiral molecules on curved colloidal membranes
Sk Ashif Akram, Arabinda Behera, Prerna Sharma +1
Colloidal membranes, self assembled monolayers of aligned rod like molecules, offer a template for designing membranes with definite shapes and curvature, and possibly new function…
