Origin of life from a maker's perspective -- focus on protocellular compartments in bottom-up synthetic biology

Ivan Ivanov, Stoyan K. Smoukov, Ehsan Nourafkan +2

The origin of life is shrouded in mystery, with few surviving clues, obscured by evolutionary competition. Previous reviews have touched on the complementary approaches of top-down…

Heated gas bubbles enrich, crystallize, dry, phosphorylate and encapsulate prebiotic molecules

Matthias Morasch, Jonathan Liu, Christina F. Dirscherl +13

Non-equilibrium conditions must have been crucial for the assembly of the first informational polymers of early life, but supporting their formation and continuous enrichment in a…

Scanning Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (SFCS) with a Scan Path Perpendicular to the Membrane Plane

Paul Müller, Petra Schwille, Thomas Weidemann

Scanning fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (SFCS) with a scan path perpendicular to the membrane plane was introduced to measure diffusion and interactions of fluorescent compo…

Protein Pattern Formation

Erwin Frey, Jacob Halatek, Simon Kretschmer +1

Protein pattern formation is essential for the spatial organization of many intracellular processes like cell division, flagellum positioning, and chemotaxis. A prominent example o…

Response to Halatek and Frey: Effective two-dimensional model does account for geometry sensing by self-organized proteins patterns

Mike Bonny, Jakob Schweizer, Martin Loose +3

The Min proteins from Escherichia coli can self-organize into traveling waves on supported lipid bilayers. In Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 109, 15283 (2012) we showed that these wave…

Near-critical fluctuations and cytoskeleton-assisted phase separation lead to subdiffusion in cell membranes

Jens Ehrig, Eugene P. Petrov, Petra Schwille

We address the relationship between membrane microheterogeneity and anomalous subdiffusion in cell membranes by carrying out Monte Carlo simulations of two-component lipid membrane…
