Chemical Kinetics and Mass Action in Coexisting Phases
Jonathan Bauermann, Sudarshana Laha, Patrick M. McCall +2
The kinetics of chemical reactions are determined by the law of mass action, which has been successfully applied to homogeneous, dilute mixtures. At non-dilute conditions, interact…

Stress relaxation in F-actin solutions by severing
S. Arzash, P. M. McCall, J. Feng +2
Networks of filamentous actin (F-actin) are important for the mechanics of most animal cells. These cytoskeletal networks are highly dynamic, with a variety of actin-associated pro…

Filament turnover is essential for continuous long range contractile flow in a model actomyosin cortex
William M. McFadden, Patrick M. McCall, Edwin M. Munro
In this paper, we develop and analyze a minimal model for a 2D network of cross-linked actin filaments and myosin motors, representing the cortical cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells…
