Filament flexibility enhances power transduction of F-actin bundles
Alessia Perilli, Carlo Pierleoni, Jean-Paul Ryckaert
The dynamic behavior of bundles of actin filaments growing against a loaded obstacle is investigated through a generalized version of the standard multi filaments Brownian Ratchet…
On the Properties of a Bundle of Flexible Actin Filaments in an Optical Trap
Alessia Perilli, Carlo Pierleoni, Giovanni Ciccotti +1
We establish the Statistical Mechanics framework for a bundle of Nf living and uncrosslinked actin filaments in a supercritical solution of free monomers pressing against a mobile…
A semi-flexible model prediction for the polymerization force exerted by a living F-actin filament on a fixed wall
Carlo Pierleoni, Giovanni Ciccotti, Jean-Paul Ryckaert
We consider a single living semi-flexible filament with persistence length l_p in chemical equilibrium with a solution of free monomers at fixed monomer chemical potential mu_1 and…
