  • 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 ...

  • Steady-state helices of the actin homolog MreB inside bacteria: dynamics without motors 

    Allard, J. F., and A. D. Rutenberg. 2007. "Steady-state helices of the actin homolog MreB inside bacteria: dynamics without motors." Physical review.E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics 76(3 Pt 1): 031916.
    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 ...
