  • Clocking out: modeling phage-induced lysis of Escherichia coli 

    Ryan, G. L., and A. D. Rutenberg. 2007. "Clocking out: modeling phage-induced lysis of Escherichia coli." Journal of Bacteriology 189(13): 4749-4755.
    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 ...

  • Self-organization of the MinE protein ring in subcellular Min oscillations 

    Derr, J., J. T. Hopper, A. Sain, and A. D. Rutenberg. 2009. "Self-organization of the MinE protein ring in subcellular Min oscillations." Physical review.E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics 80(1 Pt 1): 011922.
    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 ...
