Mechanochemical action of the dynamin protein
Martin Lenz, Jacques Prost, Jean-François Joanny
Dynamin is a ubiquitous GTPase that tubulates lipid bilayers and is implicated in many membrane severing processes in eukaryotic cells. Setting the grounds for a better understandi…
Polyelectrolyte gels in poor solvent: Equilibrium and non equilibrium elasticity
T. A. Vilgis, A. Johner, J. -F. Joanny
We study theoretically using scaling arguments the behavior of polyelectrolyte gels in poor solvents. Following the classical picture of Katchalsky, our approach is based on single…
Stretching necklaces
T. A. Vilgis, A. Johner, J. -F. Joanny
Polyelectrolytes in poor solvents show a necklace structure where collapsed polymer pearls are linked to stretched strings. In the present paper the elasticity of such chains is st…
