Swimming of microorganisms in quasi-2D membranes
Carlos Alas, Thomas R. Powers, Tatiana Kuriabova
Biological swimmers frequently navigate in geometrically restricted media. We study the prescribed-stroke problem of swimmers confined to a planar viscous membrane embedded in a bu…
Mutual diffusion of inclusions in freely-suspended smectic liquid crystal films
Zhiyuan Qi, Zoom Hoang Nguyen, Cheol Soo Park +5
We study experimentally and theoretically the hydrodynamic interaction of pairs of circular inclusions in two-dimensional, fluid smectic membranes suspended in air. By analyzing th…
Effect of external stress on the thermal melting of DNA
Joseph Rudnick, Tatiana Kuriabova
We discuss the effects of external stress on the thermal denaturation of homogeneous DNA. Pulling double-stranded DNA at each end exerts a profound effect on the thermal denaturati…
Nanorheology of viscoelastic shells: Applications to viral capsids
Tatiana Kuriabova, Alex Levine
We study the microrheology of nanoparticle shells [Dinsmore et al. Science 298, 1006 (2002)] and viral capsids [Ivanovska et al. PNAS 101, 7600 (2004)] by computing the mechanical…
Duplex-single strand denaturing transition in DNA oligomers
G. Zocchi, A. Omerzu, T. Kuriabova +2
We have measured the temperature driven denaturing, or melting transition in poly d(A)-poly d(T) DNA oligomers of various lengths in different buffer conditions. Our findings are i…
