A non-reciprocal model for morphogenesis in symbiosis
Maitane Muñoz-Basagoiti, Michael Wassermair, Miguel Amaral +2
The shape of a cell influences, and it is influenced by its interactions with its neighbours. Here, we introduce a coarse-grained computational model of non-reciprocal interactions…
A tutorial for mesoscale computer simulations of lipid membranes: tether pulling, tubulation and fluctuation
Maitane Muñoz-Basagoiti, Felix Frey, Billie Meadowcroft +3
Lipid membranes and membrane deformations are a long-standing area of research in soft matter and biophysics. Computer simulations have complemented analytical and experimental app…
On Kinetic Constraints That Catalysis Imposes on Elementary Processes
Yann Sakref, Maitane Muñoz-Basagoiti, Zorana Zeravcic +1
Catalysis, the acceleration of product formation by a substance that is left unchanged, typically results from multiple elementary processes, including diffusion of the reactants t…
Catalysis from the bottom-up
Maitane Muñoz-Basagoiti, Olivier Rivoire, Zorana Zeravcic
Catalysis, the acceleration of chemical reactions by molecules that are not consumed in the process, is essential to living organisms but currently absent in physical systems that…
