Equatorial deformation of homogeneous spherical fluid vesicles by a rigid ring
Pablo Vázquez-Montejo, Bojan Božič, Jemal Guven
We examine the deformation of homogeneous spherical fluid vesicles along their equator by a circular rigid ring. We consider deformations preserving the axial and equatorial mirror…
What geometrically constrained folding models can tell us about real-world protein contact maps
Nora Molkenthin, J. J. Güven, Steffen Mühle +1
The mechanisms by which a protein's 3D structure can be determined based on its amino acid sequence have long been one of the key mysteries of biophysics. Often simplistic models,…
Conformal mechanics of space curves
Jemal Guven
Any conformally invariant energy associated with a curve possesses tension-free equilibrium states which are self-similar. When this energy is the three dimensional conformal arc-l…
Conformal Mechanics of Planar Curves
Jemal Guven, Gregorio Manrique
Self-similar curves arise naturally as the tension-free equilibrium states of conformally invariant bending energies. The simplest example is the Möbius invariant conformal arc-len…
Conformal symmetry breaking and self-similar spirals
Jemal Guven
Self-similar curves are a recurring motif in nature. The tension-free stationary states of conformally invariant energies describe the simplest curves of this form. Planar logarith…
Isometric bending requires local constraints on free edges
Jemal Guven, Martin Michael Müller, Pablo Vázquez-Montejo
While the shape equations describing the equilibrium of an unstretchable thin sheet that is free to bend are known, the boundary conditions that supplement these equations on free…
