Bonded straight and helical flagellar filaments form ultra-low-density glasses
Sevim Yardimci, Thomas Gibaud, Walter Schwenger +4
We study how the three-dimensional shape of rigid filaments determines the microscopic dynamics and macroscopic rheology of entangled semi-dilute Brownian suspensions. To control t…
Microtubules soften due to cross-sectional flattening
Edvin Memet, Feodor Hilitski, Margaret A Morris +3
We use optical trapping to continuously bend an isolated microtubule while simultaneously measuring the applied force and the resulting filament strain, thus allowing us to determi…
High-Resolution Structure and Intermolecular Interactions between L-type Straight Flagellar Filaments
D. Louzon, A. Ginsburg, W. Schwenger +3
Bacterial mobility is powered by rotation of helical flagellar filaments driven by rotary motors. Flagellin isolated from {\it Salmonella Typhimurium} SJW1660 strain, which differs…
Solid friction between soft filaments
Andrew Ward, Feodor Hilitski, Walter Schwenger +5
Any macroscopic deformation of a filamentous bundle is necessarily accompanied by local sliding and/or stretching of the constituent filaments. Yet the nature of the sliding fricti…
