On Stretching, Bending, Shearing and Twisting of Actin Filaments II: Multi-Resolution Modelling
Ravinda Gunaratne, Carlos Floyd, Haoran Ni +2
We present a multi-resolution methodology for modelling F-actin filaments. It provides detailed microscopic information at the level of individual monomers at a lower computational…
On Stretching, Bending, Shearing and Twisting of Actin Filaments I: Variational Models
Carlos Floyd, Haoran Ni, Ravinda S. Gunaratne +2
Mechanochemical simulations of actomyosin networks are traditionally based on one-dimensional models of actin filaments having zero width. Here, and in the follow up paper, approac…
Actin reorganization throughout the cell cycle mediated by motor proteins
Maria-Veronica Ciocanel, Aravind Chandrasekaran, Carli Mager +3
Cortical actin networks are highly dynamic and play critical roles in shaping the mechanical properties of cells. The actin cytoskeleton undergoes significant reorganization over t…
Segmental Lennard-Jones Interactions for Semi-flexible Polymer Networks
Carlos Floyd, Aravind Chandrasekaran, Haoran Ni +2
Simulating soft matter systems such as the cytoskeleton can enable deep understanding of experimentally observed phenomena. One challenge of modeling such systems is realistic desc…
Understanding cytoskeletal avalanches using mechanical stability analysis
Carlos Floyd, Herbert Levine, Christopher Jarzynski +1
Eukaryotic cells are mechanically supported by a polymer network called the cytoskeleton, which consumes chemical energy to dynamically remodel its structure. Recent experiments in…
Minimal Cylinder Analysis Reveals the Mechanical Properties of Oncogenic Nucleosomes
Mary Pitman, Yamini Dalal, Garegin A. Papoian
Histone variants regulate replication, transcription, DNA damage repair, and chromosome segregation. Though widely accepted as a paradigm, it has not been rigorously demonstrated t…
