Assembly pathways of anisotropic lipid membrane-deforming colloids
Ali Azadbakht, Thomas Weikl, Daniela J. Kraft
Membrane-deformation mediated interactions play an important role in the spatial organization of proteins on the cell membrane. Although interactions between isotropic membrane def…
Self-Generated Electric Fields in Polyelectrolyte Gradients Increase Microparticle Transport
Max Huisman, Ali Azadbakht, Patrick B. Warren +1
There are many situations in nature and industry where small particles are exposed to gradients of charged polymers, such as enzymes in biological gradients of DNA or RNA, virus pa…
Repulsion and attraction in the interactions of opposite membrane deformations
Ali Azadbakht, Daniela J. Kraft
Lipid membrane deformations have been predicted to lead to indirect forces between the objects that induce these deformations. Recent experimental measurements have found an attrac…
The motion of catalytically active colloids approaching a surface
Julio Melio, Solenn Riedel, Ali Azadbakht +6
Catalytic microswimmers typically swim close to walls due to hydrodynamic and/or phoretic effects. The walls in turn are known to affect their propulsion, making it difficult to si…
Non-additivity in many-body interactions between membrane-deforming spheres increases disorder
Ali Azadbakht, Thomas R. Weikl, Daniela J. Kraft
Membrane-induced interactions have been predicted to be important for the organization of membrane proteins. Measurements of the interactions between two and three membrane deformi…
Three-Body Interactions of Lipid Membrane-Deforming Colloidal Spheres
Ali Azadbakht, Billie Meadowcroft, Juraj Májek +2
Many cell functions require a concerted effort from multiple membrane proteins, for example, for signaling, cell division, and endocytosis. One contribution to their successful sel…
Wrapping pathways of anisotropic dumbbell particles by giant unilamellar vesicles
Ali Azadbakht, Billie Meadowcroft, Thijs Varkevisser +2
Endocytosis is a key cellular process involved in the uptake of nutrients, pathogens or the diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Most studies have focused on spherical objects, where…
