Investigation of force approximations in tethered cells simulations
Johan Zakrisson, Krister Wiklund, Ove Axner +1
Simulations of tethered cells in viscous sub-layers are frequently performed using the Stokes drag force, but without taking into account contributions from surface corrections, li…
Damping properties of type 1 fimbriae
Johan Zakrisson, Krister Wiklund, Ove Axner +1
Type 1 fimbriae mediate adhesion of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) to host cells. It has been hypothesized that fimbriae can, by their ability to uncoil under exposure to fo…
Damping effect of helix-like pili
Johan Zakrisson, Krister Wiklund, Ove Axner +1
Biopolymers are vital structures for many living organisms; for a variety of bacteria, adhesion polymers play a crucial role for the initiation of colonization. Some bacteria expre…
Multibody simulation of adhesion pili
Johan Zakrisson, Krister Wiklund, Martin Servin +3
We present a coarse grained rigid multibody model of a subunit assembled helix-like polymer, e.g., adhesion pili expressed by bacteria, that is capable of describing the polymers f…
