Self-organization of the MinE protein ring in subcellular Min oscillations
(2009-07)
We model the self-organization of the MinE ring that is observed during subcellular oscillations of the proteins MinD and MinE within the rod-shaped bacterium Escherichia coli. With a steady-state approximation, we can ...
Steady-state helices of the actin homolog MreB inside bacteria: dynamics without motors
(2007-09)
Within individual bacteria, we combine force-dependent polymerization dynamics of individual MreB protofilaments with an elastic model of protofilament bundles buckled into helical configurations. We use variational ...
