Entropy of water and the temperature-induced stiffening of amyloid networks
Slav A. Semerdzhiev, Saskia Lindhoud, Anja Stefanovic +3
In water, networks of semi-flexible fibrils of the protein -synuclein stiffen significantly with increasing temperature. We make plausible that this reversible stiffening is a r…
Transient Binding and Dissipation in Semi-flexible Polymer Networks
O. Lieleg, M. M. A. E. Claessens, Y. Luan +1
While polymer solutions lack the mechanical stability only transiently cross-linked networks can fulfill the competing requirements of structural stability and maximal energy dissi…
Mechanics of bundled semiflexible polymer networks
O. Lieleg, M. M. A. E. Claessens, C. Heussinger +2
While actin bundles are used by living cells for structural fortification, the microscopic origin of the elasticity of bundled networks is not understood. Here, we show that above…
