Formation of dilute adhesion domains driven by weak elasticity-mediated interactions
Nadiv Dharan, Oded Farago
Cell-cell adhesion is established by specific binding of receptor and ligand proteins. The adhesion bonds attract each other and often aggregate into large clusters that are centra…
Entropy driven aggregation of adhesion sites of supported membranes
Noam Weil, Oded Farago
We study, by means of mean field calculations and Monte Carlo simulations of a lattice-gas model, the distribution of adhesion sites of a bilayer membrane and a supporting flat sur…
Solute Effects on the Helix-Coil Transition
Oded Farago, Philip Pincus
We discuss the effects of the solvent composition on the helix-coil transition of a polypeptide chain. We use a simple model to demonstrate that improving the hydrogen-bonding abil…
Elasticity of Gaussian and nearly-Gaussian phantom networks
Oded Farago, Yacov Kantor
We study the elastic properties of phantom networks of Gaussian and nearly-Gaussian springs. We show that the stress tensor of a Gaussian network coincides with the conductivity te…
