Kinetically arrested clusters in active filament arrays
Sonu Karayat, Prashant K. Purohit, L. Mahadevan +2
We use Brownian dynamics simulations and theory to study the over-damped spatiotemporal dynamics and pattern formation in a fluid-permeated array of equally spaced, active, elastic…
Persistence of activity in noisy motor-filament assemblies
Raghunath Chelakkot, Arvind Gopinath, L. Mahadevan
Long, elastic filaments cross-linked and deformed by active molecular motors occur in various natural settings. The overall macroscopic mechanical response of such a composite netw…
Persistence of strain in motor-filament assemblies
Arvind Gopinath, Raghunath Chelakkot, L. Mahadevan
Crosslinked semi-flexible and flexible filaments that are actively deformed by molecular motors occur in various natural settings, such as the ordered eukaryotic flagellum, and the…
Flagellar dynamics of a connected chain of active, Brownian particles
Raghunath Chelakkot, Arvind Gopinath, L. Mahadevan +1
Eukaryotic flagella are active structures with a complex architecture of microtubules, motor proteins and elastic links. They are capable of whiplike motions driven by motors slidi…
