Cellular wrapping of elastic particles by a supported lipid membrane
Amir Khosravanizadeh, Pierre Sens, Farshid Mohammad-Rafiee
Constancy of life vitally depends on the internalization of particles through biomembranes. Of particular interest, cellular uptake, including phagocytosis, receptor-mediated endoc…

Mechanical properties of chiral actin filaments
Amir Khosravanizadeh, François Nédélec, Serge Dmitrieff
The mechanical properties of actin filaments are essential to their biological functions. Here, we introduce a highly coarse-grained model of actin filaments that preserves helicit…

Rotation-Beating dynamics of a driven flexible filament: role of motor protein properties
Amir Khosravanizadeh, Serge Dmitrieff
We have used numerical simulations to investigate how the properties of motor proteins control the dynamical behavior of a driven flexible filament. The filament is pinned at one e…
