Transforming tubular packings to bicontinuous surfaces
Vira Raichenko, Alicja Bukat, Michal Bykowski +2
The link between bicontinuous architectures in biological membranes and triply-periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) is a well established example of stunning geometric form in nature.…
Topological potentials guiding protein self-assembly
Ivan Spirandelli, Arnur Nigmetov, Dmitriy Morozov +1
The simulated self-assembly of molecular building blocks into functional complexes is a key area of study in computational biology and materials science. Self-assembly simulations…
Can solvents tie knots? Helical folds of biopolymers in liquid environments
Rhoslyn Coles, Myfanwy E. Evans
Helices are the quintessential geometric motif of the microscale, from alpha-helices in proteins to double helices in DNA. Assembly of the helical geometry of biopolymers is a foun…
Robust self-assembly of nonconvex shapes in 2D
Lukas Mayrhofer, Myfanwy E. Evans, Gero Friesecke
We present fast simulation methods for the self-assembly of complex shapes in two dimensions. The shapes are modeled via a general boundary curve and interact via a standard volume…
