Sequence Dependence of Electronic Transport in DNA
Antonio Rodriguez, Rudolf A. Roemer, Matthew S. Turner
We study electronic transport in long DNA chains using the tight-binding approach for a ladder-like model of DNA. We find insulating behavior with localizaton lengths xi ~ 25 in un…
Spicules and the effect of rigid rods on enclosing membrane tubes
D. R. Daniels, M. S. Turner
Membrane tubes (spicules) arise in cells, or artificial membranes, in the nonlinear deformation regime due to, e.g. the growth of microtubules, actin filaments or sickle hemoglobin…
Budded membrane microdomains as regulators for cellular tension
Pierre Sens, Matthew S. Turner
We propose a mechanism for mechanical regulation at the membrane of living cells, based on the exchange of membrane area between the cell membrane and a membrane reservoir. The res…
Electronic Transport in DNA
Daphne Klotsa, Rudolf A. Roemer, Matthew S. Turner
We study the electronic properties of DNA by way of a tight-binding model applied to four particular DNA sequences. The charge transfer properties are presented in terms of localis…
Non-equilibrium raft-like membrane domains under continuous recycling
Matthew S. Turner, Pierre Sens, Nicholas D. Socci
We present a model for the kinetics of spontaneous membrane domain (raft) assembly that includes the effect of membrane recycling ubiquitous in living cells. We show that the domai…
