ATP-Independent Entropy-Driven dsRNA Unwinding by DDX3X Revealed by Coarse-Grained Simulations and Deep Learning
Kang Wang, Chun-Lai Ren, Yu-Qiang Ma
DEAD-box RNA helicases (DDXs) are traditionally known as ATP-dependent motors that unwind double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Recent experiments, however, show that some DDXs promote dsRN…
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…
Non-equilibrium steady structures of confined liquid crystals driven by a dynamic boundary
Rui-fen Zhang, Chun-lai Ren, Jia-wei Feng +1
Steady structures originating from dynamic self-assembly have begun to show their advantages in new generation materials, and pose challenges to equilibrium self-assembly. In view…
Structure and organization in inclusion-containing bilayer membranes
Chun-Lai Ren, Yu-qiang Ma
Membrane organization is essential for cellular functions such as signal transduction and membrane trafficking. A major challenge is to understand the lateral heterogeneous structu…
Phase Behavior in Thin Films of Confined Colloid-Polymer Mixtures
Chun-lai Ren, Yu-qiang Ma
Using self-consistent field and density-functional theories, we first investigate colloidal self-assembling of colloid/polymer films confined between two soft surfaces grafted by p…
