Protein recruitment through indirect mechanochemical interactions
Andriy Goychuk, Erwin Frey
Some of the key proteins essential for important cellular processes are capable of recruiting other proteins from the cytosol to phospholipid membranes. The physical basis for this…
Cooperation in Microbial Populations: Theory and Experimental Model Systems
J. Cremer, A. Melbinger, K. Wienand +3
Cooperative behavior, the costly provision of benefits to others, is common across all domains of life. This review article discusses cooperative behavior in the microbial world, m…
Pattern localization to a domain edge
Manon C. Wigbers, Fridtjof Brauns, Tobias Hermann +1
The formation of protein patterns inside cells is generically described by reaction-diffusion models. The study of such systems goes back to Turing, who showed how patterns can eme…
Active Matter Invasion
Felix Kempf, Romain Mueller, Erwin Frey +2
Biological active materials such as bacterial biofilms and eukaryotic cells thrive in confined micro-spaces. Here, we show through numerical simulations that confinement can serve…
Stochastic Yield Catastrophes and Robustness in Self-Assembly
Florian M. Gartner, Isabella R. Graf, Patrick Wilke +2
A guiding principle in self-assembly is that, for high production yield, nucleation of structures must be significantly slower than their growth. However, details of the mechanism…
