Stall force of polymerizing microtubules and filament bundles
Jaroslaw Krawczyk, Jan Kierfeld
We investigate stall force and polymerization kinetics of rigid protofilaments in a microtubule or interacting filaments in bundles under an external load force in the framework of…

Duality mapping and unbinding transitions of semiflexible and directed polymers
Jan Kierfeld, Reinhard Lipowsky
Directed polymers (strings) and semiflexible polymers (filaments) are one-dimensional objects governed by tension and bending energy, respectively. They undergo unbinding transitio…

Barrier crossing of semiflexible polymers
P. Kraikivski, R. Lipowsky, J. Kierfeld
We consider the motion of semiflexible polymers in double-well potentials. We calculate shape, energy, and effective diffusion constant of kink excitations, and in particular their…
