Ca-tunable mechanics and recoil in reconstituted Tcb2 networks
Xiangting Lei, K. R. Prathyusha, Carlos Floyd +2
Tetrahymena calcium-binding protein (Tcb2) forms Ca-responsive networks that exhibit contractile behavior, yet how Ca concentration controls their local mechanical re…
Active polymers translocate faster in confinement
K. R. Prathyusha, Paulami Sarkar, Justin Xu +1
Living organisms employ diverse strategies to navigate confined environments. Inspired by translocation observations on California blackworms (\textit{Lumbriculus variegatus}), we…
Collecting Particles in Confined Spaces by Active Filamentous Matter
R. Sinaasappel, K. R. Prathyusha, H. Tuazon +4
Biological and robotic systems often operate in confined environments where material must be gathered without centralized control. Inspired by the effective collection strategies o…
Anomalous fluctuations in a droplet of chemically active colloids or enzymes
K. R. Prathyusha, Suropriya Saha, Ramin Golestanian
Chemically active colloids or enzymes cluster into dense droplets driven by their phoretic response to collectively generated chemical gradients. Employing Brownian dynamics simula…
Worm Blobs as Entangled Living Polymers: From Topological Active Matter to Flexible Soft Robot Collectives
Antoine Deblais, K. R. Prathyusha, Rosa Sinaasappel +4
Recently, long and slender living worms have garnered significant interest because of their impressive ability to exhibit diverse emergent behaviors in highly entangled physical an…
A computational study of a transversely propelling polymer and passive particles
K. R. Prathyusha
Using Langevin dynamics simulations, we study a system of transversely propelling filament and passive Brownian particles. We consider a polymer whose monomers experience a constan…
Emergent conformational properties of end-tailored transversely propelling polymers
K. R. Prathyusha, Falko Ziebert, Ramin Golestanian
We study the dynamics and conformations of a single active semiflexible polymer whose monomers experience a propulsion force perpendicular to the local tangent, with the end beads…
Dynamically Generated Patterns in Dense Suspensions of Active Filaments
K. R. Prathyusha, Silke Henkes, Rastko Sknepnek
We use Langevin dynamics simulations to study dynamical behaviour of a dense planar layer of active semi-flexible filaments. Using the strength of active force and the thermal pers…
