Multivalent Diffusive Transport
Antonia Kowalewski, Nancy R. Forde, Chapin S. Korosec
We present here a model for multivalent diffusive transport whereby a central point-like hub is coupled to multiple feet, which bind to complementary sites on a two-dimensional lan…
Optical tweezers approaches for probing multiscale protein mechanics and assembly
Kathrin Lehmann, Marjan Shayegan, Gerhard A. Blab +1
Multi-step assembly of individual protein building blocks is key to the formation of essential higher-order structures inside and outside of cells. Optical tweezers is a technique…
Dimensionality-dependent crossover in motility of polyvalent burnt-bridges ratchets
Chapin S. Korosec, Martin J. Zuckermann, Nancy R. Forde
The burnt-bridges ratchet (BBR) mechanism is a model for biased molecular motion whereby the construct destroys track binding sites as it progresses, and therefore acts as a diffus…
Environmentally controlled curvature of single collagen proteins
Naghmeh Rezaei, Aaron Lyons, Nancy R. Forde
The predominant structural protein in vertebrates is collagen, which plays a key role in extracellular matrix and connective tissue mechanics. Despite its prevalence and physical i…
