The effect of genome length on ejection forces in bacteriophage lambda
Paul Grayson, Alex Evilevitch, Mandar M. Inamdar +4
A variety of viruses tightly pack their genetic material into protein capsids that are barely large enough to enclose the genome. In particular, in bacteriophages, forces as high a…
Measuring the force ejecting DNA from phage
A. Evilevitch, M. Castelnovo, C. M. Knobler +1
We discuss how a balance can be established between the force acting to eject DNA from viral capsids and the force resisting its entry into a colloidal suspension which mimics the…
Folding Langmuir Monolayers
Weixing Lu, Charles M. Knobler, Robijn F. Bruinsma +2
The maximum pressure a two-dimensional surfactant monolayer is able to withstand is limited by the collapse instability towards formation of three-dimensional material. We propose…
Statistics of Shear-induced Rearrangements in a Model Foam
Shubha Tewari, Dylan Schiemann, Douglas J. Durian +3
Under steady shear, a foam relaxes stress through intermittent rearrangements of bubbles accompanied by sudden drops in the stored elastic energy. We use a simple model of foam tha…
Boojums and the Shapes of Domains in Monolayer Films
Jiyu Fang, Ellis Teer, Charles M. Knobler +2
Domains in Langmuir monolayers support a texture that is the two-dimensional version of the feature known as a boojum. Such a texture has a quantifiable effect on the shape of the…
