Binding equilibrium and kinetics of membrane-anchored receptors and ligands in cell adhesion: insights from computational model systems and theory
Thomas R. Weikl, Jinglei Hu, Guang-Kui Xu +1
The adhesion of cell membranes is mediated by the binding of membrane-anchored receptor and ligand proteins. In this article, we review recent results from simulations and theory t…

Binding kinetics of membrane-anchored receptors and ligands: molecular dynamics simulations and theory
Jinglei Hu, Guang-Kui Xu, Reinhard Lipowsky +1
The adhesion of biological membranes is mediated by the binding of membrane-anchored receptor and ligand proteins. Central questions are how the binding kinetics of these proteins…

Binding constants of membrane-anchored receptors and ligands: a general theory corroborated by Monte Carlo simulations
Guang-Kui Xu, Jinglei Hu, Reinhard Lipowsky +1
Adhesion processes of biological membranes that enclose cells and cellular organelles are essential for immune responses, tissue formation, and signaling. These processes depend se…
