Activity-driven polymer knotting for macromolecular topology engineering
Jia-Xiang Li, Song Wu, Li-Li Hao +2
Macromolecules can gain special properties by adopting knotted conformations, but engineering knotted macromolecules is a challenging task. Here we surprisingly observed that knott…
Fluidization and anomalous density fluctuations in 2D Voronoi cell tissues with pulsating activity
Zhu-Qin Li, Qun-Li Lei, Yu-qiang Ma
Cells not only can be motile by crawling but are also capable of non-motility active motions like periodic contraction or pulsation. In this work, based on a Voronoi cell model, we…
Transformable Super-Isostatic Crystals Self-Assembled from Segment Colloidal Rods
Ji-Dong Hu, Ting Wang, Qun-Li Lei +1
Colloidal particles can spontaneously self-assemble into ordered structures, which not only can manipulate the propagation of light, but also vibration or phonons. Using Monte Carl…
Uncovering the molecular mechanism for dual effect of ATP on phase separation in FUS solution
Chun-Lai Ren, Yue Shan, Pengfei Zhang +2
Recent studies reported that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) could inhibit as well as enhance the phase separation in prion-like proteins. The molecular mechanism underlying such a pu…
Self-Assembly of Isostatic Self-Dual Colloidal Crystals
Qun-Li Lei, Wei Zheng, Feng Tang +3
Self-dual structures whose dual counterparts are themselves possess unique hidden symmetry, beyond the description of classical spatial symmetry groups. Here we propose a strategy…
Transition between globule and stretch states of a self-attracting chain in the repulsive active particle bath
Yi-qi Xia, Wen-jie Shan, Wen-de Tian +2
Folding and unfolding of biopolymers are often manipulated in experiment by tuning pH, temperature, single-molecule force or shear field. Here we carry out Brownian dynamics simula…
