Clocking out: modeling phage-induced lysis of Escherichia coli
(2007-07)
Phage lambda lyses the host Escherichia coli at a precisely scheduled time after induction. Lysis timing is determined by the action of phage holins, which are small proteins that induce hole formation in the bacterium's ...
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 ...
