Stability analysis of a signaling circuit with dual species of GTPase switches
Lucas M. Stolerman, Pradipta Ghosh, Padmini Rangamani
GTPases are molecular switches that regulate a wide range of cellular processes, such as organelle biogenesis, position, shape, and signal transduction. These enzymes operate by to…
The mechanics and thermodynamics of tubule formation in biological membranes
Arijit Mahapatra, Can Uysalel, Padmini Rangamani
Membrane tubulation is a ubiquitous process that occurs both at the plasma membrane and on the membranes of intracellular organelles. These tubulation events are known to be mediat…
ATP synthase: evolution, energetics, and membrane interactions
Jasmine A Nirody, Itay Budin, Padmini Rangamani
The synthesis of ATP, life's 'universal energy currency', is the most prevalent chemical reaction in biological systems, and is responsible for fueling nearly all cellular processe…
Local sensitivity analysis of the `Membrane shape equation' derived from the Helfrich energy
P. Rangamani, A. Behzadan, M. Holst
The Helfrich energy is commonly used to model the elastic bending energy of lipid bilayers in membrane mechanics. The governing differential equations for certain geometric charact…
Transport Phenomena in Fluid Films with Curvature Elasticity
Arijit Mahapatra, David Saintillan, Padmini Rangamani
Cellular membranes are elastic lipid bilayers that contain a variety of proteins, including ion channels, receptors, and scaffolding proteins. These proteins are known to diffuse i…
