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…

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…
