Length and sequence relaxation of copolymers under recombination reactions
Alex Blokhuis, David Lacoste
We describe the kinetics and thermodynamics of copolymers undergoing recombination reactions, which are important for prebiotic chemistry. We use two approaches: the first one, bas…
A planar lipid bilayer in an electric field: membrane instability, flow field and electrical impedance
Falko Ziebert, David Lacoste
For many biotechnological applications it would be useful to better understand the effects produced by electric fields on lipid membranes. This review discusses several aspects of…
A Poisson-Boltzmann approach for a lipid membrane in an electric field
Falko Ziebert, David Lacoste
The behavior of a non-conductive quasi-planar lipid membrane in an electrolyte and in a static (DC) electric field is investigated theoretically in the nonlinear (Poisson-Boltzmann…
Effective zero-thickness model for a conductive membrane driven by an electric field
Falko Ziebert, Martin Z. Bazant, David Lacoste
The behavior of a conductive membrane in a static (DC) electric field is investigated theoretically. An effective zero-thickness model is constructed based on a Robin-type boundary…
Thermal expansion within a chain of magnetic colloidal particles
D. Lacoste, C. Brangbour, J. Bibette +1
We study the thermal expansion of chains formed by self-assembly of magnetic colloidal particles in a magnetic field. Using video-microscopy, complete positional data of all the pa…
Non-equilibrium self-assembly of a filament coupled to ATP/GTP hydrolysis
Padinhateeri Ranjith, David Lacoste, Kirone Mallick +1
We study the stochastic dynamics of growth and shrinkage of single actin filaments or microtubules taking into account insertion, removal, and ATP/GTP hydrolysis of subunits. The r…
