A Stochastic Model of Translocation of Knotted Proteins
Karol Capała, Piotr Szymczak
Knotted proteins, when forced through the pores, can get stuck if the knots in their backbone tighten under force. Alternatively, the knot can slide off the chain, making transloca…
Breakthrough-Induced Loop Formation in Evolving Transport Networks
Stanisław Żukowski, Annemiek Johanna Maria Cornelissen, Florian Osselin +2
Transport networks, such as vasculature or river networks, provide key functions in organisms and the environment. They usually contain loops whose significance for the stability a…
Stability of sedimenting flexible loops
Radost Waszkiewicz, Piotr Szymczak, Maciej Lisicki
We study the behaviour of circular flexible loops sedimenting in a viscous fluid by numerical simulations and linear stability analysis. The numerical model involves a local slende…
Chirality for crooked curves
Giovanni Dietler, Robert Kusner, Wöden Kusner +2
Chiral objects rotate when placed in a collimated flow or wind. We exploit this hydrodynamic intuition to construct a tensorial chirality measure for rigid filaments and curves. Th…
Critical dynamics and tree-like spatiotemporal patterns in exciton-polaritoncondensates
Nataliya Bobrovska, Andrzej Opala, Paweł Miętki +4
We study nonresonantly pumped exciton-polariton system in the vicinity of the dynamical instability threshold. We find that the system exhibits unique and rich dynamics, which lead…
Periodic motion of sedimenting flexible knots
Magdalena Gruziel, Krishnan Thyagarajan, Giovanni Dietler +3
We study the dynamics of knotted deformable closed chains sedimenting in a viscous fluid. We show experimentally that trefoil and other torus knots often attain a remarkably regula…
